USAspending.gov records $9,288,973,871.63 in Department of Agriculture obligations under awarding agency 012 with place of performance in Kentucky, across 74,760 awards. Kentucky’s USDA cell is a thick-file case in this slice: 74,760 awards against a $9.29 billion obligation sum. That arithmetic is a thick-file case: many rows against a large obligation sum, so the mean is pulled down by volume. The pair is Department of Agriculture and Kentucky — not Kentucky’s entire federal inflow and not cash already paid. Average obligation is about $124,251 ($9,288,973,871.63 ÷ 74,760).

What the USDA–Kentucky join is

Awarding agency 012 and place-of-performance state KY meet here. $9,288,973,871.63 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 Kentucky, 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. 74,760 is a thick action file: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished.

Dividing $9,288,973,871.63 by 74,760 yields about $124,251 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 Kentucky’s 012 cell as a synonym for every USDA account.

Open Department of Agriculture in Kentucky for the live filtered table, Kentucky federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Agriculture for agency 012 without a Kentucky filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $9,288,973,871.63.

Awarding agency 012 as the USDA side

USAspending labels awarding agency 012 as Department of Agriculture. That code produced $9,288,973,871.63 when crossed with Kentucky place of performance. The agency-wide 012 hub does not require KY geography. The Kentucky hub does not require USDA. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 74,760 awards.

This page reports agriculture awarding activity that USAspending coded to Kentucky. Correlation is not causation: Kentucky did not “cause” $9,288,973,871.63 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 012 × KY 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 Kentucky?
USAspending.gov lists $9,288,973,871.63 in Department of Agriculture obligations across 74,760 Kentucky-coded awards. Agency 012 × KY is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Kentucky’s complete federal ledger. Department of Agriculture in Kentucky is the live overlay for this pair. Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $124,251, a ratio of those two facts only.
Does this total include every USDA program in Kentucky?
The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. 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. $9,288,973,871.63 is the combined obligation sum for agency 012 inside Kentucky coding. This page will not invent a program pie. Open Department of Agriculture in Kentucky to inspect award lines. 74,760 remains an action count, not a program count.
Is $9,288,973,871.63 cash already paid in Kentucky?
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 $9,288,973,871.63 as checks already cleared in Kentucky confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 74,760 awards. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.
