Minnesota Governor Tim Walz unveiled his budget proposal for 2022 and 2023 this week.
Ag Commissioner Thom Petersen tells Brownfield feedback from farmers and farm groups has been taken into account.
“What was needed in the state, what do we see coming? What could help us as we hopefully come out of COVID in 2021?”
Despite a projected $1.3 billion fiscal year deficit, he says Walz actually increased the Agriculture Department’s budget by three percent.
