Bill > SF1220

This bill transfers an unspecified amount of money from the state's general fund to the University of Minnesota's agriculture research, education, extension, and technology transfer account in fiscal year 2026 specifically to support the Forever Green Initiative. The Forever Green Initiative is a program aimed at developing and promoting perennial and winter-annual crops that can help Minnesota farmers improve their agricultural practices while simultaneously protecting natural resources. The bill emphasizes that this transfer of funds is a one-time allocation designed to enhance the efficiency, profitability, and productivity of agricultural operations in the state. By supporting research into new crop varieties that can grow during traditionally less productive seasons, the initiative seeks to create more sustainable and economically viable farming strategies for Minnesota.
