Department of Agriculture in Colorado

What the USDA–Colorado join is

Awarding agency 012 and place-of-performance state CO meet here. $10,608,744,777.09 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Agriculture’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Colorado, and not an outlay register. Farm, conservation, nutrition, and related instruments can all sit under awarding agency 012. The packet does not split FNS, FSA, NRCS, or other USDA components. 74,252 is a thick action file: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished.

Dividing $10,608,744,777.09 by 74,252 yields about $142,875 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line, and it is not a bushel total, not a farm census, and not a nutrition caseload. A second USDA slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Colorado’s 012 cell as a synonym for every USDA account.

Open Department of Agriculture in Colorado for the live filtered table, Colorado federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Agriculture for agency 012 without a Colorado filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $10,608,744,777.09.

Awarding agency 012 as the USDA side

USAspending labels awarding agency 012 as Department of Agriculture. That code produced $10,608,744,777.09 when crossed with Colorado place of performance. The agency-wide 012 hub does not require CO geography. The Colorado hub does not require USDA. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 74,252 awards.

This page reports agriculture awarding activity that USAspending coded to Colorado. Correlation is not causation: Colorado did not “cause” $10,608,744,777.09 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 012 × CO only. Farm, conservation, nutrition, and related instruments can all sit under awarding agency 012. The packet does not split FNS, FSA, NRCS, or other USDA components.

Questions

How much USDA spending is coded to Colorado?

USAspending.gov lists $10,608,744,777.09 in Department of Agriculture obligations across 74,252 Colorado-coded awards. Agency 012 × CO is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Colorado’s complete federal ledger. Department of Agriculture in Colorado is the live overlay for this pair. Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $142,875, a ratio of those two facts only.

Is $10,608,744,777.09 cash already paid in Colorado?

No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet’s headline. Treating $10,608,744,777.09 as checks already cleared in Colorado confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 74,252 awards. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.
