Bill > HF525

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. The transfer is specifically intended to support the Forever Green Initiative, which aims to protect Minnesota's natural resources while improving agricultural practices. The initiative seeks to help farmers incorporate perennial and winter-annual crops into their existing farming methods, with the goal of increasing efficiency, profitability, and productivity. The bill stipulates that this transfer is a one-time funding allocation, meaning it is not intended to be a recurring annual transfer. By supporting the Forever Green Initiative, the bill represents an investment in sustainable agricultural research and development that could potentially benefit Minnesota's agricultural sector and environmental conservation efforts.
