The 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. These funds are 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 as outlined in Minnesota Statutes, section 17.1195.

Additionally, the bill allows for the mental health outreach and support services to include a 24-hour hotline, stigma reduction efforts, and educational programs. Importantly, it stipulates that any unencumbered balance of these appropriated funds will not cancel at the end of fiscal year 2026, but will remain available until June 30, 2027, thereby ensuring continued support for these critical initiatives.
