Program Support
Connecting people across Minnesota to agriculture through partnerships, statewide initiatives, and innovative programs that support communities and advance the future of farming.
The Minnesota Foundation for Agriculture (MFA) plays an essential role in connecting people across our state to agriculture. Through our platform, MFA supports more than 60 organizations and events across Minnesota. At the same time, we are proud to offer award-winning programs of our own.
Whether it's through community partnerships, statewide initiatives, or innovative programs, the Minnesota Foundation for Agriculture provides opportunities for supporters to connect their passions and interests with the future of agriculture.
Our Programs
Ag Transportation Handbook
The MFA publishes this handbook which outlines rules and regulations for moving agricultural goods on public roadways.
Rural Resiliency Programming on Mental Health
We serve as a resource to farmers and rural community leaders on how they can address mental health and death by suicide, breaking down the stigma.
Opioid Misuse Education and Outreach Programming
The MFA is teaching our farm families and farm workers about the opioid epidemic in our rural communities. We provide resources, education about the safe disposal of prescription medicines, and bring community leaders together to have open and honest discussions about the epidemic.
The Rural Healthcare Initiative
In partnership with the Zumbro Valley Medical Society and the Mayo School of Medicine (Alix), we are introducing medical students to rural healthcare and what it may be like to serve as a healthcare professional in a rural community.
