Bill > HF113

This bill appropriates a total of $2,726,000 (split equally between fiscal years 2026 and 2027) from Minnesota's arts and cultural heritage fund to support the Minnesota Black Farmers Association. The funding is specifically designated to help preserve the cultural heritage of Black farmers through grants that will support three specific farm locations: Mahogany Farm in Mora, Frog Tree Farm in Verndale, and the 40 Acre Co-op in Sandstone. The grants aim to develop and build greenhouses that will help cultivate a new generation of culturally aware farmers, promote understanding of sustainable agricultural practices, and create community centers for cultural and educational programming. Additionally, the grant money can be used to make improvements to the farmhouse at Mahogany Farm. By providing this funding, the bill seeks to support and preserve the agricultural legacy and cultural experiences of Black farmers in Minnesota.
