The bill titled H.F. No. 1701, introduced in the Minnesota House of Representatives, proposes the establishment of the Minnesota-made Fertilizer Grant Program. The purpose of this program is to support the local production, processing, and handling of fertilizer within the state by providing grants to eligible businesses. The Minnesota Commissioner of Agriculture will oversee the program and may award grants to applicants operating in Minnesota. Priority will be given to applicants supplying fertilizer to agricultural producers for use in crop years 2026 and beyond. The bill also appropriates funding to support this initiative.
