The Minnesota Department of Agriculture is establishing an office that will focus exclusively on emerging farmers. Assistant Commissioner Patrice Bailey says this effort can help people make the transition from consumer to producer. Minnesota is the first state in the nation to create an office of this kind. The state’s leadership role is in “just being able to recognize black, indigenous and people of color, LGBQ+, veterans. They all have a space to be when it comes to agriculture.”
