Conservation Reserve Program — CFDA 10.069

CRP obligations at $2.09 billion

USAspending.gov records $2,091,022,956.22 in obligations under CFDA 10.069. Eight hundred fifty-seven thousand seven hundred eighty-three awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $2,438 per award — tiny compared with formula grants and consistent with farm-level payment rows aggregated under a few named recipients. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical rental-rate per acre.

The assistance-listing title is CONSERVATION RESERVE PROGRAM. CFDA 10.069 is the identifier. Other USDA conservation listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $2.09 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined conservation total this packet does not contain.

55 recipients and 857,783 award rows

Fifty-five recipients share 857,783 awards, or about 15,596 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $2.09 billion evenly would assign about $38.0 million per recipient. That density is not a research portfolio; it is a payment-file structure in which a small number of named organizations carry a very large number of assistance rows. The packet does not list the 55. Recipient count is the organizational headcount on the federal extract, not a census of farms or acres.

Fifty-three jurisdictions in the geographic count cover states plus additional coded entities in the USAspending state field. CRP dollars still follow enrolled land, not equal shares. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Award count is not an acre or farm count

Among agriculture listings, 10.069 is an extreme-volume file: 857,783 rows against 55 recipients. Payment-level rows can inflate award count far beyond unique farms. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of CRP contracts” and a worse proxy for acres. Recipients (55) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (857,783) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report acres enrolled, soil saved, or wildlife outcomes. Citing 857,783 as farms or acres would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions.

Obligations versus CRP outlays

The $2.09 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Conservation Reserve Program awards — are not in the packet. A payment file can show a large obligation stock while rental payments follow a later calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

What the 10.069 tables omit

The CRP hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not an acreage ledger, not a farm directory, and not a wildlife census. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $2,091,022,956.22. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 857,783 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 53 jurisdictions is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid as rent.

Where the 10.069 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 10.069 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other USDA listings. For 10.069 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 10.069’s 857,783 awards spread $2,091,022,956.22 across 55 recipients and 53 jurisdictions. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 15,596 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards. Read 10.069 as a payment-row conservation book: 857,783 assistance records on 55 named organizations is the farm-payment pattern, not a research portfolio. The $2.09 billion remains an obligation stock on USAspending.gov, not an acre census.
