(a) $150,000 the first year and $150,000 the
second year are for a meat scientist.
(b) $500,000 the first year is for grants to
organizations to acquire, host, and operate a
mobile slaughter unit. The mobile unit must
coordinate with Minnesota state two-year
colleges that have meat cutting programs to
accommodate training as it relates to animal
slaughter. The mobile unit may coordinate
with livestock producers who desire to provide
value-added meat products by utilizing the
mobile slaughter unit. The mobile unit may
be used for research, training outside of the
two-year colleges, and other activities that
align with industry needs. The Agricultural
Utilization Research Institute may only award
a grant under this paragraph if the grant
amount is matched by a like amount from
another funding source. The Agricultural
Utilization Research Institute must seek
matching dollars from Minnesota State
Colleges and Universities or other entities for
purposes of this paragraph. The appropriation
under this paragraph is onetime and is
available until June 30, 2024. Any money
remaining on June 30, 2024, must be
transferred to the commissioner of agriculture
for the agricultural growth, research, and
innovation program under Minnesota Statutes,
section 41A.12, and is available until June 30,
2025. By January 15, 2023, the institute must
report to the chairs and ranking minority
members of the legislative committees with
jurisdiction over agriculture regarding the
status of the project, including the status of
the use of any state or matching dollars to
complete the project.
