Klobuchar Unveils Rural Economy Plan in Moorhead as Part of Governor’s Race
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."
- Stressing that "the biggest challenge facing our rural communities right now is uncertainty," Klobuchar argued state government must be proactive, not reactive, to overcome rising costs and permit delays.
- The proposal includes creating 10,000 apprenticeship opportunities and building 100,000 homes with private sector incentives, while cutting through "red tape" to speed infrastructure permits and expand sustainable aviation fuel.
- Trent Gerads of the Cass Clay Community Land Trust highlighted housing shortages in the region, while Farmer Anne Schwagerl praised the plan's approach to reducing barriers for agricultural producers.
- Throughout the week, Klobuchar is visiting eight counties across Northwest and Northern Minnesota to meet local leaders as part of her rural economy tour ahead of the Minnesota primary election on Tuesday, Aug. 11.
