HF3566 creates two new criminal offenses under Minnesota law: (1) criminal damage to farm machinery and equipment, and (2) criminal trespass on agricultural land. The bill was sponsored by Republican representatives Bobbie Harder, John Burkel, and Keith Allen, and received committee referrals to both Agriculture Finance and Policy and Public Safety Finance and Policy during the 94th Legislature (2025-2026).

Affected parties include agricultural operators who own farm equipment and land, as well as any individuals who may engage in equipment damage or unauthorized entry on agricultural property. While the bill provides for criminal penalties, specific fine amounts and imprisonment terms were not specified in available legislative records. Agricultural firms and rural property owners should familiarize themselves with these new statutory provisions once the bill becomes law.
