Department of Agriculture in Massachusetts

What the USDA–Massachusetts join is

Awarding agency 012 and place-of-performance state MA meet here. $11,058,780,297.78 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 Massachusetts, 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. 5,421 is a mid-size action file: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished.

Dividing $11,058,780,297.78 by 5,421 yields about $2.04 million 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 Massachusetts’s 012 cell as a synonym for every USDA account.

Open Department of Agriculture in Massachusetts for the live filtered table, Massachusetts federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Agriculture for agency 012 without a Massachusetts filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $11,058,780,297.78.

Awarding agency 012 as the USDA side

USAspending labels awarding agency 012 as Department of Agriculture. That code produced $11,058,780,297.78 when crossed with Massachusetts place of performance. The agency-wide 012 hub does not require MA geography. The Massachusetts hub does not require USDA. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 5,421 awards.

This page reports agriculture awarding activity that USAspending coded to Massachusetts. Correlation is not causation: Massachusetts did not “cause” $11,058,780,297.78 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 012 × MA 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 Massachusetts?

USAspending.gov lists $11,058,780,297.78 in Department of Agriculture obligations across 5,421 Massachusetts-coded awards. Agency 012 × MA is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Massachusetts’s complete federal ledger. Department of Agriculture in Massachusetts is the live overlay for this pair. Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $2.04 million, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does this total include every USDA program in Massachusetts?

Is $11,058,780,297.78 cash already paid in Massachusetts?

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 $11,058,780,297.78 as checks already cleared in Massachusetts confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 5,421 awards. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.
