Minnesota HF3899 amends the description of wild rice as the state grain.

Minnesota HF3899 amends the description of wild rice as the state grain, specifying that Zizania aquatica or Zizania palustris, commonly known as wild rice, psíŋ, or manomin manoomin, is the official state grain. The bill also allows for a photograph of wild rice to be displayed in the Office of the Secretary of State. This change recognizes the inherent right of uncultivated wild rice to exist and thrive in Minnesota.
