This bill appropriates $150,000 from the general fund for the fiscal year 2027 to support a new full-time staff position at the University of Minnesota Extension. The purpose of this position is to enhance the farmer-lender mediation program as outlined in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 583.

The funding aims to improve the resources available for farmers and lenders in mediation processes, thereby promoting better financial outcomes and support within the agricultural community in Minnesota. This initiative reflects the state's commitment to addressing the challenges faced by farmers and ensuring effective mediation services are accessible.
