The bill aims to establish soil-healthy farming goals in Minnesota to enhance agricultural practices and promote environmental sustainability. It introduces new definitions, including "soil health" and "soil-healthy farming," which encompasses various practices such as no-till, cover cropping, and managed rotational grazing. These definitions are intended to provide clarity on what constitutes soil-healthy practices and their importance in improving soil health.

Additionally, the bill sets specific voluntary goals for the state to achieve by 2030, 2035, and 2040, targeting the utilization of soil-healthy practices on increasing acres of tillable or grazeable land. The goals include reaching 5,750,000 acres by 2030, 11,500,000 acres by 2035, and 25,000,000 acres by 2040. The overarching objectives of these goals are to boost farm income, reduce erosion and runoff, enhance water quality, increase vegetation, sequester carbon, and support healthier ecosystems and communities.
