The plan targets farm profitability, 100,000 homes and 10,000 apprenticeships while expanding broadband, health care and child care in rural Minnesota.
- On Wednesday, July 1, 2026, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar announced her gubernatorial rural economy plan at Nelson Farms in Moorhead, pledging to deliver "real results to Greater Minnesota" by supporting workforce and infrastructure.
