The Department of Agriculture shows $15,708,796,787.44 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Minnesota, across 255,852 awards. Awarding-agency 012 and Minnesota (MN) are the pair. The dollars are obligations, not outlays, and not a finding that Minnesota “attracted” the awards. USAspending.gov is the source of the two integers.

Key figures

  • USDA in Minnesota: $15,708,796,787.44 across 255,852 USAspending awards.
  • Implied mean about $61,398 per record, not a typical farm receipt and not a typical nutrition-award invoice.
  • Agency 012 × MN is not a crop report, a drought score, or a grocery-price index.
  • Cite obligations, not outlays, from USAspending.gov.
  • Statewide MN is not Hennepin versus the Iron Range.

USDA’s Minnesota-coded award book

Keep two filters in view. Awarding agency is Department of Agriculture, CGAC 012. Geography is Minnesota. The surviving file is $15,708,796,787.44 and 255,852 awards. FNS, FSA, NRCS, Forest Service, and other USDA awarding offices can roll up under agency 012. This packet does not classify those rows. Other awarding agencies inside Minnesota sit on other pages even when the same metro hosts their work.

Dollars per record come to about $61,398. That mean mixes large assistance or contract vehicles with smaller actions. It is not a typical farm receipt and not a typical nutrition-award invoice. Unique recipients are unpublished. A quarter-million USDA rows under a Minnesota tag is a high-count Agriculture book. High counts often reflect many small farm-program or nutrition actions; this packet still does not classify them.

What the USDA–Minnesota pair is not

This join is not a crop report, a drought score, or a grocery-price index. $15,708,796,787.44 measures award obligations with a 012 awarding-agency code and a MN place-of-performance tag. Minnesota’s farm-and-Twin-Cities reputation in ordinary speech is background, not a packet field. This join does not publish a metro-versus-Greater-Minnesota split. Wisconsin and Iowa awards stay in other state cells.

Department of Agriculture in Minnesota is the overlay. Minnesota federal spending still includes every other awarding agency in the state extract. Department of Agriculture is the parent agency hub without a Minnesota filter. All spending ties holds the rest of the join list. Correlation is not causation: sharing a state with USDA does not mean the state caused the cell.
