Sec. 3. [CORPORATE FARMING LAW TASK FORCE.] Subdivision 1. [PURPOSE.] Current Minnesota law generally precludes corporations from owning farm land or operating a farming enterprise. Corporate farming law has been developed over a period of 14 decades, and the development has included numerous changes to accommodate shifting priorities in agriculture and a recognition that the economic and social climate of the state is not static. There is a concern whether current corporate farming law, especially as it relates to the breeding and raising of swine, represents the appropriate balance between protection of family farms and opportunity for creative new enterprise structures organized by multiple farmers. Farmers wish to support a corporate farming law that is in the overall best interest of production agriculture and preservation of the family farm unit as the main component of the agricultural economy in the state. The study, legislative report, and legislative recommendations authorized by this section will increase public and legislative understanding of the issues involved. Subd. 2. [CREATION; MEMBERSHIP.] (a) There is hereby created a corporate farming law task force with ten members appointed as follows: (1) the chairs of the committees of the Minnesota senate and house of representatives, or their designees; (2) two members of the Minnesota house of representatives appointed by the speaker of the house; (3) one member of the Minnesota house of representatives appointed by the minority leader of the house; (4) two members of the Minnesota senate appointed by the senate committee on rules and administration; (5) one member of the Minnesota senate appointed by the minority leader of the senate; (6) one member with education and experience in the area of agricultural economics appointed by the governor of Minnesota; and (7) one member who is the operator of a production agriculture farm in Minnesota appointed by the governor. (b) Each of the appointing authorities must make their respective appointments not later than June 15, 1994. (c) Citizen members of the task force may be reimbursed for expenses as provided in Minnesota Statutes, section 15.059, subdivision 6. (d) The first meeting of the task force must be called and convened by the chairs of the agriculture committees of the senate and the house of representatives. Task force members will then elect a permanent chair from among the task force members. Subd. 3. [CHARGE.] The task force must examine current and projected impacts of corporate farming structures on the economic, social, and environmental conditions and structures of rural Minnesota. The study should consider probable impacts on both agriculture related and nonagricultural businesses in rural communities. Issues of nonpoint source pollution and other environmental issues must also be considered. Subd. 4. [RESOURCES; STAFF SUPPORT; CONTRACT SERVICES.] The commissioner of agriculture shall provide necessary resources and staff support for the meetings, hearings, activities, and report of the task force. To the extent the task force determines it appropriate to contract with nonstate providers for research or analytical services, the commissioner shall serve as the fiscal agent for the task force. Subd. 5. [PUBLIC HEARINGS.] The task force shall hold at least four public hearings on the issue of corporate farming law, with specific emphasis on appropriate regulation of business structures involved in swine breeding and raising. At least three of the hearings must be held in greater Minnesota. Subd. 6. [REPORT.] Not later than February 15, 1995, the corporate farming law task force shall report to the legislature on the findings of its study. The report must include recommendations for changes in Minnesota Statutes and rules of the department of agriculture that are negative to the best interests of production agriculture in the state and the economic, environmental, and social environment and preservation of the family farm. Subd. 7. [EXPIRATION.] The corporate farming law task force expires 45 days after its report and recommendations are delivered to the legislature or on May 15, 1995, whichever date is earlier. Subd. 8. [APPROPRIATION; CORPORATE FARMING LAW TASK FORCE.] $25,000 is appropriated from the general fund to the commissioner of agriculture to provide staff and research support for the corporate farming law task force."
