The Minnesota Legislature appropriates funds for the MDA and related agricultural activities through a two-year budget bill that is part of the state’s overall government funding. State budgets are set in legislative sessions that take place in odd-numbered years and are sometimes revised during sessions in even-numbered years. The next legislative session, beginning Jan. 3, will determine the next two-year state budget. Information about the MDA’s mission, leadership and responsibilities is available online.
