Bill > HF2579

This bill appropriates $980,000 in total ($490,000 in each of fiscal years 2026 and 2027) to the Minnesota commissioner of agriculture for two separate grant programs: AGRI works and AGRI support. Under the AGRI works program, agriculture-related institutions and nonprofits can apply for grants up to $20,000, while the AGRI support program allows grants ranging from over $20,000 to $200,000. To be eligible for either program, applicants must submit their most recent tax documents and complete an application in the format specified by the commissioner. These appropriations are designated as one-time funding from the general fund, meaning the money is not expected to be recurring in future budget cycles. The bill aims to provide financial support to agricultural institutions and nonprofits, potentially to encourage agricultural innovation, development, or support services in Minnesota.
