Agriculture, Environment, & Natural Resources
Agriculture, Environment, & Natural Resources: This category consists primarily of the departments of Natural Resources, Game and Parks, Environmental Quality, and Agriculture. Also included are several smaller agencies such as the Dairy Board and Ethanol Board (full list below).
Nearly half of this category is funded through Cash Funds, notably through hunting and fishing licenses and entrance fees to state parks and recreation areas.
(Note: the sharp increase in Federal Funds in FY 09-10 and FY 10-11 is due to federal stimulus spending that came through the State Energy Office and the Department of Environmental Quality. This included funding for home weatherization / energy efficiency programs, as well as federal aid for waste water and drinking water facilities.)
