Soil and Water Conservation — CFDA 10.902

Conservation obligations at $808,062,253.09

USAspending.gov records $808,062,253.09 in obligations under CFDA 10.902. One thousand one hundred thirteen awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $725,662 per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical EQIP-style practice payment and not a cost per acre. Other USDA conservation listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $808,062,253.09.

The assistance-listing title is SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION. CFDA 10.902 is the identifier. Combining 10.902 with Conservation Reserve or EQIP codes would invent a combined conservation total this packet does not contain. Read the $808,062,253.09 as the obligation book tagged 10.902 only.

701 recipients on 1,113 award rows

Seven hundred one recipients share 1,113 awards, or about 1.6 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $808,062,253.09 evenly would assign about $1.15 million per recipient. That density is a conservation-district and cooperator pattern: many named local organizations carrying one or two assistance rows. The packet does not list the 701.

Fifty-three jurisdictions in the geographic count cover states plus a few extra coded entities. Soil-and-water dollars follow funded districts and partners, not equal shares. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table. Recipient count is organizational, not a census of farms or stream miles.

Award rows are not an acreage census

Among USDA listings, 10.902 is a high-row cooperative file: 1,113 awards against 701 recipients. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of conservation projects” and a worse proxy for acres treated. Recipients (701) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (1,113) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report tons of sediment, wetland acres, or practice codes. Citing 1,113 as farms would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions. The $808,062,253.09 stock is the obligation figure from USAspending.gov.

Obligations versus conservation outlays

The $808,062,253.09 is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Soil and Water Conservation awards — are not in the packet. A cooperative file can show a large obligation stock while practice reimbursements follow seasonal work. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

What the 10.902 tables omit

The program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a soil-survey inventory, not a practice-code ledger, and not a farm directory. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $808,062,253.09. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 1,113 award rows.

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

A researcher comparing 10.902 with Conservation Reserve or EQIP codes should keep CFDA numbers separate. The 701-recipient headcount on 1,113 awards is a high-row conservation-district fingerprint. Quote $808,062,253.09 as the USAspending obligation stock for Soil and Water Conservation only. About 1.6 award records per recipient is the density story. Acres treated, practice codes, and sediment tons remain outside the packet. Outlays are a separate column.
