This bill appropriates funds to support the Minnesota Agriculture and Rural Leadership program. Specifically, it allocates $75,000 from the general fund for each of the fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to the commissioner of agriculture.

The funds are designated for grants to the Southwest Minnesota State University Foundation, which will utilize the money to enhance the leadership program focused on agriculture and rural development in Minnesota. This initiative aims to strengthen the agricultural sector and foster leadership within rural communities.
