Conservation Stewardship Program in Arkansas

Arkansas x 10.924 is a CSP join, not a farm census

This page pairs CFDA 10.924, CONSERVATION STEWARDSHIP PROGRAM, with Arkansas place of performance. The Conservation Stewardship Program, in program language, is a USDA NRCS listing that pays producers for maintaining and adopting conservation activities across an operation. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $224,769,350.28 on 2,006 awards. The extract does not list producers, acres enrolled, or activity types. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state needs the program more, and not a claim that 2,006 awards equal that many local offices.

Other NRCS listings — EQIP, ACEP, or different stewardship codes — sit outside $224,769,350.28 unless they also carry 10.924. Mixing CSP with EQIP or ACEP would invent a combined NRCS figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and local need statistics is not causation. Those statistics are not in the packet. Place of performance as Arkansas locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $224,769,350.28 in the state treasury, and it does not prove every dollar stayed inside Arkansas after subawards.

2,006 awards behind $224,769,350.28

Award count is a row count of assistance awards, including possible annual runs, modifications, and producer-level contracts. It is not a census of farms or a count of practices. Mean obligation is about $112,048.53 if $224,769,350.28 were divided evenly across 2,006 lines — a mechanical ratio across a high-volume file, not a typical payment published by the agency.

2,006 lines cannot be narrated one by one. Sort the Arkansas 10.924 overlay by amount to see whether a few large rows dominate or the total is spread. This page will not invent recipient names. Open Conservation Stewardship Program in Arkansas for the stored table. Do not convert 2,006 into a map of Arkansas providers. The $224,769,350.28 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards.

Questions

How much Conservation Stewardship Program funding is obligated in Arkansas?

USAspending.gov shows $224,769,350.28 in obligations for CFDA 10.924 with Arkansas as place of performance, across 2,006 awards. The sum is a commitment total on assistance awards, not outlays and not the state's entire federal-spending total. Other USDA listings are outside this join unless they also carry 10.924.

Do 2,006 awards mean 2,006 Arkansas farms received CSP?

No. Award count is a row count of assistance awards and can include continuations. It is not a census of farms or a count of practices. The packet does not name recipients. See the Arkansas 10.924 overlay for named lines as USAspending stored them.

Does this include EQIP in Arkansas?

No. The join is CFDA 10.924 crossed with Arkansas place of performance. Related programs on other CFDA numbers are not inside $224,769,350.28 unless the award also carries 10.924. Mixing CSP with EQIP or ACEP would invent a combined NRCS figure the packet never computed.

Is the CSP total already spent on Arkansas practices?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $224,769,350.28 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault's extract. Completed activity and remaining balances are not published in this packet.
