USAspending.gov records $8,964,104,168.02 in Department of Agriculture obligations under awarding agency 012 with place of performance in Maryland, across 21,875 awards. Maryland sits between the Chesapeake and the District line, and readers often treat a USDA–Maryland cell as a Beltsville-plus-Eastern-Shore farm story. This packet does not name Beltsville, Delmarva poultry, or a Bay restoration earmark. The pair is Department of Agriculture and Maryland — not Maryland’s entire federal inflow and not cash already paid. Average obligation is about $409,788 ($8,964,104,168.02 ÷ 21,875).

Key figures

  • USDA in Maryland: $8,964,104,168.02 across 21,875 USAspending awards.
  • Implied mean about $409,788 per record, not a typical award size.
  • Agency 012 × MD is an obligation join, not an outlay and not a program split.
  • Cite USAspending.gov; quote Department of Agriculture in Maryland if the live table moved.
  • Maryland federal spending and Department of Agriculture are parents, not amounts to add into $8,964,104,168.02.

What the USDA–Maryland join is

Awarding agency 012 and place-of-performance state MD meet here. $8,964,104,168.02 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 Maryland, and not an outlay register. Nutrition, conservation, research, and farm instruments can share awarding agency 012. This harvest does not publish the shares, so do not treat the cell as a crop report.

21,875 is a high row count for this dollar scale, so the mean is smaller than thin Energy-style books. Modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. Dividing $8,964,104,168.02 by 21,875 yields about $409,788 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 Maryland for the live filtered table, Maryland federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Agriculture for agency 012 without a Maryland filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $8,964,104,168.02.

Awarding agency 012 as the USDA side

USAspending labels awarding agency 012 as Department of Agriculture. That code produced $8,964,104,168.02 when crossed with Maryland place of performance. The agency-wide 012 hub does not require MD geography. The Maryland hub does not require USDA. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 21,875 awards.

Acreage, yield, and grocery prices are not USAspending fields here. The join does not isolate nutrition assistance from conservation or farm programs. A second USDA slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Maryland’s 012 cell as a synonym for every USDA account.

Questions

How much USDA spending is coded to Maryland?
USAspending.gov lists $8,964,104,168.02 in Department of Agriculture obligations across 21,875 Maryland-coded awards. Agency 012 × MD is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Maryland’s complete federal ledger. Department of Agriculture in Maryland is the live overlay for this pair. Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $409,788, a ratio of those two facts only.
Does this total include every USDA program in Maryland?
The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. Nutrition, conservation, research, and farm instruments can share awarding agency 012. This harvest does not publish the shares, so do not treat the cell as a crop report. $8,964,104,168.02 is the combined obligation sum for agency 012 inside Maryland coding. This page will not invent a program pie. Open Department of Agriculture in Maryland to inspect award lines. 21,875 remains an action count, not a program count.
Is $8,964,104,168.02 cash already paid in Maryland?
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 $8,964,104,168.02 as checks already cleared in Maryland confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 21,875 awards. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.
Where is the live USDA–Maryland table?
Department of Agriculture in Maryland is the overlay. Maryland federal spending and Department of Agriculture are the parents. All spending ties lists other agency-state pairs. Those hubs are not addends. Keep both sides of the join when citing $8,964,104,168.02. Place of performance is MD, not a county map. Obligations are not outlays.
