This bill aims to support Black veteran farmers in Minnesota by appropriating funds for the purchase of advanced farming equipment. Specifically, it mandates that the commissioner of agriculture award a grant to the Minnesota Black Farmers Association, which will be used to acquire modern farming tools such as skid steers and John Deere tractors with attachments for a cooperative of Black veteran farmers.

The bill includes an appropriation of $2,500,000 from the general fund for the fiscal year 2026, designated for this purpose. This funding is intended to enhance the agricultural capabilities of Black veteran farmers, thereby promoting equity and access to advanced farming technology within this community.
