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 support the implementation of this program, the bill appropriates $1,000,000 from the general fund for fiscal year 2026. This funding is designated as a one-time appropriation to assist the commissioner of agriculture in establishing and running the training program.
