The bill appropriates a total of $700,000 from the arts and cultural heritage fund to the Minnesota FFA over two fiscal years (2026 and 2027) to enhance access for members involved in art- and history-related activities. Specifically, it allocates up to $125,000 each year for initiatives that commemorate the 100-year legacy of the Minnesota FFA, which includes creating a history book, a video storytelling series, and hosting an arts-focused event. Any remaining funds can be utilized for additional activities that support Minnesota FFA members in various artistic and historical endeavors, such as participation in national and state FFA band and choir, talent competitions, floriculture, and landscape booths at the state fair.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that the commissioner of agriculture develop grant-making criteria and guidance for these funds, ensuring that input is sought from both the Minnesota FFA and the Minnesota FFA Foundation. This collaborative approach aims to ensure that the funding effectively supports projects and events that foster leadership, agricultural education, and community service among FFA members.
