Minnesota HF271 allocates funds for compensation payments for livestock and crop damage caused by wolves and elk.

Minnesota HF271 provides funding for compensation payments related to livestock and crop damage caused by wolves and elk. It appropriates money from the general fund to the commissioner of agriculture for payments for livestock destroyed or crippled by wolves and for crop or fence damage caused by elk. If the initial appropriation is insufficient, the second year's amount can be used in the first year. The commissioner may also use up to $5,000 annually to reimburse university extension agents for determining fair market values of destroyed or crippled livestock.
