Crop Insurance in Iowa

RMA catalog line meets Iowa place of performance

This tie keeps USAspending assistance where CFDA 10.450 meets Iowa place of performance. The dollar book is $1,927,580,394.26. The award count is 29. Federal crop-insurance activity in USAspending can include premium subsidies and related assistance posted to a modest number of prime records rather than one row per policy. Twenty-nine awards do not mean 29 farms bought coverage.

The join does not prove that Iowa’s corn-and-soy mix, planted acreage, or a particular weather year caused $1,927,580,394.26. Those are other series. This packet does not split corn from soybeans or premium subsidy from other 10.450 actions. Correlation is not causation.

A reader who treats the cell as Iowa’s full USDA obligation book has left the CFDA-by-state definition. The 29 figure is a record count, including modifications in the extract, not a policy count or a harvested-acre total.

Twenty-nine awards and a blended mean

Twenty-nine awards under $1,927,580,394.26 imply a mean near $66,468,289 per award. A few large subsidy or reinsurance-related actions can pull that average up. The packet has no median and no crop-share split.

Compared with high-volume benefit files that post thousands of rows, 29 records is a compact tape for nearly $1.93 billion. Volume and dollars are different columns. Cite both. USAspending.gov is the source; SpendingVault does not recast the mean as a typical farm premium subsidy.

Is $1.93 billion Iowa’s full federal spending?

No. $1,927,580,394.26 is only the Crop Insurance cell. Other CFDA programs with Iowa place of performance sit on the statewide hub. Nationwide 10.450 is not limited to Iowa.
