This bill amends the definition of "qualifying agricultural products" in Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 169.865, subdivision 1a, for the purposes of special farm products permits. The updated definition now includes a broader range of items that can be classified as qualifying agricultural products, specifically adding "raw or processed grass seed" and "soybean oil" to the existing list.
Additionally, the bill removes the reference to "livestock manure" as a qualifying agricultural product. The overall intent of these changes is to enhance the scope of products eligible for special permits, thereby supporting agricultural producers in Minnesota by recognizing a wider variety of agricultural outputs.
