Department of Agriculture in Delaware

USDA awards tagged to Delaware

Department of Agriculture as awarding agency, Delaware as place-of-performance: 4,455 records summing to $1,622,560,314.76. A Department of Agriculture award coded outside DE is out. An award in Delaware from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Delaware (DE) excludes Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. A Salisbury, Maryland-coded award is MD even if the poultry story is the same Peninsula.

Four thousand four hundred fifty-five awards is a mid-thick USDA file for a small state. Volume can rise on recurring nutrition and farm rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 4,455 as 4,455 unique farms, planted acres, or poultry houses. The overlay Department of Agriculture in Delaware is the both-keys table. Delaware federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Agriculture is the agency book without a DE filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Nutrition, conservation, and farm instruments can share 012. This packet does not say which dominate $1,622,560,314.76. Correlation is not causation: Delaware did not cause $1,622,560,314.76 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 012 × DE only.

Not a Delmarva poultry or acreage census

$1,622,560,314.76 does not measure farms, planted acres, or poultry houses. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 012 and a DE place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 4,455 awards as a census of farms, planted acres, or poultry houses. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Delaware federal spending or Department of Agriculture matched $1,622,560,314.76 and 4,455, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey USDA joins are other pairs, not addends.
