This Minnesota House bill (H.F. No. 1518) proposes funding for an agricultural training program for Black youth at historically Black-owned farms in rural Minnesota. The program, administered by the commissioner of agriculture, will provide training in traditional and modern farming practices, sustainable agriculture, entrepreneurship, and community engagement. Additionally, it will offer mentorship opportunities for Black youth interested in farming.

The bill appropriates $1,000,000 from the general fund for fiscal year 2026 to establish the program, specifying that this is a one-time appropriation.
