USAspending.gov records $8,832,227,387.17 in Department of Agriculture obligations under awarding agency 012 with place of performance in Iowa, across 373,689 awards. Iowa’s USDA cell is the thick-file case in this slice: 373,689 awards against an $8.83 billion obligation sum. That arithmetic is the story. It is not a ranking of Iowa against other farm states and not a bushel total. The pair is Department of Agriculture and Iowa — not Iowa’s entire federal inflow and not cash already paid. Average obligation is about $23,635 ($8,832,227,387.17 ÷ 373,689).

Key figures

  • USDA in Iowa: $8,832,227,387.17 across 373,689 USAspending awards.
  • Implied mean about $23,635 per record, not a typical award size.
  • Agency 012 × IA is an obligation join, not an outlay and not a program split.
  • Cite USAspending.gov; quote Department of Agriculture in Iowa if the live table moved.
  • Iowa federal spending and Department of Agriculture are parents, not amounts to add into $8,832,227,387.17.

What the USDA–Iowa join is

Awarding agency 012 and place-of-performance state IA meet here. $8,832,227,387.17 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 Iowa, and not an outlay register. Farm, conservation, and nutrition instruments can all sit under 012. Three hundred seventy-three thousand rows make a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one.

373,689 is a thick action file: many rows against a mid-single-digit-billion obligation sum, so the mean is pulled down by volume. Modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. Dividing $8,832,227,387.17 by 373,689 yields about $23,635 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line.

Open Department of Agriculture in Iowa for the live filtered table, Iowa federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Agriculture for agency 012 without an Iowa filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $8,832,227,387.17.

Awarding agency 012 as the USDA side

USAspending labels awarding agency 012 as Department of Agriculture. That code produced $8,832,227,387.17 when crossed with Iowa place of performance. The agency-wide 012 hub does not require IA geography. The Iowa hub does not require USDA. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 373,689 awards.

A small implied mean is what a large row count does to an $8.83 billion numerator. It is not a typical Iowa farm’s federal check and not a commodity-program isolation. A second USDA slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Iowa’s 012 cell as a synonym for every USDA account.

Questions

How much USDA spending is coded to Iowa?
USAspending.gov lists $8,832,227,387.17 in Department of Agriculture obligations across 373,689 Iowa-coded awards. Agency 012 × IA is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Iowa’s complete federal ledger. Department of Agriculture in Iowa is the live overlay for this pair. Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $23,635, a ratio of those two facts only.
Does this total include every USDA program in Iowa?
The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. Farm, conservation, and nutrition instruments can all sit under 012. Three hundred seventy-three thousand rows make a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. $8,832,227,387.17 is the combined obligation sum for agency 012 inside Iowa coding. This page will not invent a program pie. Open Department of Agriculture in Iowa to inspect award lines. 373,689 remains an action count, not a program count.
Is $8,832,227,387.17 cash already paid in Iowa?
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 $8,832,227,387.17 as checks already cleared in Iowa confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 373,689 awards. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.
Where is the live USDA–Iowa table?
