Environmental Quality Incentives Program — CFDA 10.912

155,247 awards under $7.27 billion

Assistance listing 10.912 is titled ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY INCENTIVES PROGRAM in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $7,272,945,768.04. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not a practice payment already cashed.

155,247 awards sit under that dollar book—among the highest record counts in this packet set. Dividing $7,272,945,768.04 by 155,247 produces a mean near $46,847 per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical per-acre cost-share a reader might recall from a conservation contract and not a farm-level budget. Many small actions can add to $7,272,945,768.04 without any single row matching a statewide grant.

296 organizational recipients appear on those rows—few relative to 155,247 awards. 56 states are coded for place of performance. Neither count converts the obligation total into acres treated.

296 recipients across 56 states

CFDA 10.912 lists 296 recipients against 155,247 awards. Recipient count is not unique producers. It is how many organizational recipients the assistance extract stores. One state conservation agency or related entity can hold many awards, which is why 155,247 records can sit on 296 recipients.

Fifty-six states is a coded-jurisdiction span, including territories if they appear in the file’s state field. Extra modifications can lift the 155,247-award count while dollars stay near $7,272,945,768.04. The EQIP hub keeps dollars, awards, recipients, and states visible so one statistic is not inferred from another.

Obligations versus conservation outlays

USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $7,272,945,768.04 figure for CFDA 10.912 can include commitments that will disburse as practices are installed. A separate conservation-practice inventory or a Treasury outlay table is a different publication. This page does not translate the obligation total into those series.

If a number you expected is missing, the usual cause is a different reporting concept. Start from the obligation definition, then open the 10.912 program page. Do not stretch 155,247 awards to cover every conservation dollar tagged under another listing.

What the 10.912 tables omit

The Environmental Quality Incentives Program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a farm roster, not an acreage file, and not a practice-by-practice ledger. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $7,272,945,768.04.

Place-of-performance on 56 states is a coding field. A statewide recipient coded to one cell can dominate geography while contracts sit in many counties. Read the program page before any state split.

How to cite CFDA 10.912

A complete citation is $7,272,945,768.04 in obligations for CFDA 10.912, covering 155,247 awards, 296 recipients, and 56 states, drawn from USAspending.gov assistance awards on SpendingVault. Name the series as obligations. If the question is award volume rather than dollars, lead with 155,247 awards, then the dollar total.

Start with the Environmental Quality Incentives Program page, then the all-programs index. Agency pages show awarding organizations; they do not replace this listing’s obligation total.

A worked reading of the 10.912 extract

Start from the four packet facts on CFDA 10.912: $7,272,945,768.04 in obligations, 155,247 awards, 296 recipients, and 56 states. The mean near $46,848 per award is a quotient from those two packet totals, not a typical unit cost and not a household or client rate. If a later USAspending.gov file adds a few large actions, dollars can jump while 296 recipients barely move. If modifications proliferate, 155,247 can rise while the dollar book stays close to $7,272,945,768.04.

Nothing in the extract splits ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY INCENTIVES PROGRAM into subaccounts, fiscal years, or outlay versus obligation series beyond the stored totals. Those cuts live in other publications. Treat CFDA 10.912 as an assistance-listing tag on USAspending.gov award files. Open the program page, then the all-programs index, for a same-series ranking. Cite 155,247 awards and 296 recipients next to the dollars so the record count is visible beside $7,272,945,768.04. Name the series as obligations, not outlays, every time the figure is reused. Agency pages show awarding organizations; they do not replace this listing’s obligation total.

A complete working citation for this listing is $7,272,945,768.04 in USAspending.gov obligations for CFDA 10.912, covering 155,247 awards, 296 recipients, and 56 states, indexed on SpendingVault. Do not convert 155,247 awards into acres treated, or 296 recipients into a farm census. The 56-state field is place-of-performance coding in the assistance extract. Read the ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY INCENTIVES PROGRAM hub before inferring a geographic story from the dollar total alone. If a number you expected is missing from $7,272,945,768.04, the usual cause is a different reporting concept rather than a gap in the 155,247 award rows.

Questions

How much is obligated under EQIP?

USAspending.gov assistance awards indexed on SpendingVault show $7,272,945,768.04 in obligations for CFDA 10.912. That sum is an obligation total, not a Treasury outlay total and not a count of acres. The same extract lists 155,247 awards, 296 recipients, and 56 states.

Why does CFDA 10.912 have 155,247 awards?

The indexed award count is 155,247. Practice-level or contract-level actions can generate a high record count even when the dollar book is $7,272,945,768.04. The 155,247 figure is a file statistic, not a count of farms. 296 organizational recipients are stored on those rows.

Is the $7.27 billion already paid to producers?

Not as a cash-paid sum. USAspending reports obligations—commitments to pay—rather than outlays. The $7,272,945,768.04 figure can include amounts that will disburse later. Cite CFDA 10.912 with the obligation total from USAspending.gov assistance awards, not an outlay series. The program hub on SpendingVault holds the award rows behind those totals. Keep the series labeled as obligations from USAspending.gov assistance awards; do not swap in an outlay figure from another report.

How many states appear on CFDA 10.912?

The extract codes 56 states for the Environmental Quality Incentives Program. That count is place-of-performance geography in USAspending.gov assistance files, not a map of every contract. Those rows still sit under the $7,272,945,768.04 obligation total and the 296-recipient count. The program hub on SpendingVault holds the award rows behind those totals. Keep the series labeled as obligations from USAspending.gov assistance awards; do not swap in an outlay figure from another report.
