This bill appropriates funds to support mental health outreach and farm safety initiatives within the agricultural community in Minnesota. Specifically, it allocates $100,000 for each of the fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the general fund to the commissioner of agriculture. The funding is designated for mental health outreach and support services for farmers, ranchers, and others involved in agriculture, as well as for farm safety grant and outreach programs. The mental health initiatives may include a 24-hour hotline, stigma reduction efforts, and educational resources.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision that allows any unencumbered balance of the appropriated funds to remain available until June 30, 2027, despite the usual cancellation of unspent funds at the end of the fiscal year. This flexibility is intended to ensure that the allocated resources can be fully utilized to address the mental health and safety needs of the agricultural community.
