Agriculture awards tagged to Michigan
This page isolates awarding agency 012 and Michigan (MI) place of performance. The $15,909,117,776.32 total is the USAspending aggregate for that pair. Michigan’s all-agency hub includes Defense, HHS, and other departments; those are other columns. The national USDA hub includes every state. This cell is only 012 plus MI.
Seventy-three thousand seven hundred one awards is a high row count for an agriculture–state join. High counts often reflect many farm-program or nutrition-related actions rather than a few mega-contracts, but the packet does not classify those rows. Inferring a single commodity from the state tag would add a label the facts do not list. The Upper Peninsula and the Lower Peninsula share one MI code.
Michigan’s 73,701 USDA records and $15,909,117,776.32 cover two peninsulas under one MI code. Forest Service work in the Upper Peninsula and farm or nutrition actions in the Lower Peninsula, if both tagged 012 and MI, share $15,909,117,776.32. Cherry-festival color is not a fact. The mean near $215,860 is a ratio only.
Awarding agency 012
Code 012 is the Department of Agriculture in this extract. FNS, FSA, NRCS, Forest Service, and other USDA awarding offices can roll up under that parent. This packet does not split them. The overlay /states/mi/agencies/012/ is the table view of the same pair.
Readers who want USDA awards without a Michigan constraint should open the agency 012 hub. Stretching $15,909,117,776.32 into a national USDA total would drop the state filter.
