This bill appropriates funds for the AGRI works and AGRI support grant programs within the Minnesota Department of Agriculture. Specifically, it allocates $490,000 for each of the fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the general fund to support these initiatives. Under the AGRI works program, agriculture-related institutions and nonprofits can apply for grants of up to $20,000, while the AGRI support program allows for grants ranging from over $20,000 to a maximum of $200,000.

To be eligible for these grants, applicants must submit their most recent tax documents and complete an application as prescribed by the commissioner of agriculture. Both appropriations are designated as one-time funding, emphasizing the temporary nature of this financial support for agricultural development and assistance programs in Minnesota.
