This bill proposes the establishment of a Youth Agricultural Training Program specifically designed for Black youth at historical Black-owned farms in rural Minnesota. The program aims to provide comprehensive training in both traditional and modern farming practices, sustainable agriculture, entrepreneurship, and community engagement. Additionally, it will offer mentorship opportunities to encourage Black youth interested in pursuing careers in farming.

To fund this initiative, the bill includes an appropriation of $1,000,000 from the general fund for the fiscal year 2026. This funding is designated as a one-time appropriation to support the development and implementation of the agricultural training program.
