Minnesota SF3832 modifies eligibility for the Dairy Assistance, Investment, Relief Initiative (DAIRI) program.

Minnesota SF3832 modifies eligibility for the Dairy Assistance, Investment, Relief Initiative (DAIRI) program by allowing new dairy farms that did not market milk during 2022 or for only a portion of 2022 to qualify for DAIRI payments. The commissioner must make DAIRI payments based on the farm's production history as established in its dairy risk protection program enrollment. The bill also allocates funds for various agricultural initiatives, including grants for biofuel infrastructure, livestock operations, value-added agricultural businesses, and research on avian influenza and wild rice.
