This bill appropriates funds for various livestock shows and related agricultural events in Mississippi for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026, and ending June 30, 2027. Specifically, it allocates $1,200,000 to the State Department of Agriculture and Commerce for the Dixie National Livestock Show, and provides additional funds for junior exhibitor roundup shows, supplemental livestock premiums at the State Fair, county livestock shows (with specific limitations on individual county awards and facility requirements), five district livestock shows, five state dairy shows, and the Mississippi High School Rodeo. The bill also includes provisions for the transfer of remaining funds between show awards, with a cap on county show allocations, and mandates preference for the Mississippi Industries for the Blind in purchasing decisions.
