This bill amends the previous appropriation for agriculture-related programs in Minnesota, specifically modifying Laws 2023, chapter 43, article 1, section 2, subdivision 4. It maintains the funding levels for the agriculture research, education, extension, and technology transfer program at $10,702,000 for both the first and second years. The bill specifies allocations for various initiatives, including $600,000 for the Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station's rapid response fund, $1,000,000 for research on turkey-related diseases, and $2,250,000 for grants to enhance agricultural education. Additionally, it introduces a new base allocation of $10,352,000 for fiscal years 2026 and 2027.

Furthermore, the bill increases the appropriation for the agricultural growth, research, and innovation program to $27,107,000 for the first year, up from a previous amount of $23,107,000. It outlines specific funding for various agricultural initiatives, including $1,000,000 for county fairs, $5,750,000 for incentive payments, and $4,000,000 for Dairy Assistance grants. Notably, the base for this program is adjusted to $17,588,000 for fiscal year 2026 and each year thereafter, which includes $200,000 for cooperative development grants. The bill also ensures that unencumbered balances from appropriations do not cancel at the end of the fiscal year, allowing for continued funding into subsequent years.
