Supplemental Disaster Relief Program in Iowa

Iowa x 10.988 is a disaster-assistance join, not a weather history

This page pairs CFDA 10.988, SUPPLEMENTAL DISASTER RELIEF PROGRAM, with Iowa place of performance at $574,082,906.02 on 47,711 awards. Kansas's 10.988 overlay in this slice is a separate obligation total; the two pages are siblings, not a ranking of which state had a worse disaster. The pair is not a FEMA public-assistance total, not a crop-insurance indemnity book, and not a weather history. Disaster in the program title describes the assistance listing. It does not, in this extract, name the disaster, the year, or the counties.

Emergency Commodity Assistance (CFDA 10.121) is a different listing. Those dollars are outside $574,082,906.02 unless they also carry 10.988. Adding the two farm totals would assume non-overlapping awards, which this packet does not establish. Correlation between $574,082,906.02 and a specific drought or flood is not causation. Those events are not in the facts. Place of performance as Iowa locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $574,082,906.02 in the state treasury.

47,711 rows and a four-figure dollars-per-award mean

If $574,082,906.02 were spread evenly across 47,711 awards, the mechanical mean would be about $12,032 per row. That average is not a published payment rate. High row counts in USDA disaster files often track producer applications. Award count is not a farm census and not a county count. Repeat producers can appear on more than one row.

Forty-seven thousand lines cannot be read as a narrative of 47,711 unique operators without a unique-recipient field this packet does not supply. Sort the Iowa 10.988 overlay by amount to see concentration. Empty recipient cells, if present, are a display issue on producer files, not proof of zero dollars. The $574,082,906.02 headline stays an obligation rollup on CFDA 10.988 in Iowa.

Questions

How much Supplemental Disaster Relief is obligated in Iowa?

USAspending.gov shows $574,082,906.02 in obligations for CFDA 10.988 with Iowa as place of performance, across 47,711 awards. The sum is a commitment total on assistance awards, not outlays and not Iowa's full disaster ledger. Emergency Commodity Assistance (10.121) is a separate listing.

Is this the same as Iowa Emergency Commodity Assistance?

No. Emergency Commodity Assistance is CFDA 10.121. This page is CFDA 10.988. They are different assistance listings with separate state joins. Adding $574,082,906.02 to a 10.121 total would assume non-overlapping awards, which this packet does not establish.

Why are there 47,711 awards?

USDA disaster assistance often posts as many producer-level rows. The extract lists 47,711 awards totaling $574,082,906.02. Award count is not a farm census and may include repeat lines. The packet does not name producers, crops, or disaster events.

Are the $574 million already paid to Iowa producers?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $574,082,906.02 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault's extract. Payment dates, offsets, and remaining balances are not published in this packet.
