The bill appropriates funds for the development of markets for continuous-living cover crops in Minnesota. Specifically, it allocates a specified amount from the general fund to the commissioner of agriculture for fiscal year 2026. The bill mandates that the commissioner submit reports by February 1 of both 2026 and 2027 to the relevant legislative committees, detailing how the funds were utilized, including administrative costs and the outcomes achieved from the program.

Additionally, the bill allows the commissioner to allocate up to 6.5 percent of the appropriation for administrative expenses, which is an exception to existing statutes. This funding is designated as a one-time appropriation, available for use until June 30, 2028.
