Delta commodity folklore and Gulf Coast nutrition-assistance stories are why readers open USDA in Mississippi. This packet does not isolate a crop, a county, or a disaster year.

  • Mississippi federal spending and Department of Agriculture are parents, not amounts to add into $7,403,780,366.59.

What the USDA–Mississippi join is

Awarding agency 012 and place-of-performance state MS meet here. $7,403,780,366.59 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 Mississippi, and not an outlay register. Farm, conservation, and nutrition instruments can share 012. A small implied mean is what a large row count does to a $7.40 billion numerator, not a typical producer check.

84,144 is a thick action file: many rows against a mid-single-digit-billion obligation sum, so the mean is pulled down by volume. Modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. Dividing $7,403,780,366.59 by 84,144 yields about $87,989 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 Mississippi for the live filtered table, Mississippi federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Agriculture for agency 012 without a Mississippi filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $7,403,780,366.59.

Awarding agency 012 as the USDA side

USAspending labels awarding agency 012 as Department of Agriculture. That code produced $7,403,780,366.59 when crossed with Mississippi place of performance. The agency-wide 012 hub does not require MS geography. The Mississippi hub does not require USDA. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 84,144 awards.

Acreage, yield, and grocery prices are unpublished. 84,144 awards is a thick USDA file — thinner than Iowa’s 373,689-row book in this slice, still volume-heavy. A second USDA slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Mississippi’s 012 cell as a synonym for every USDA account.

Questions

How much USDA spending is coded to Mississippi?
USAspending.gov lists $7,403,780,366.59 in Department of Agriculture obligations across 84,144 Mississippi-coded awards. Agency 012 × MS is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Mississippi’s complete federal ledger. Department of Agriculture in Mississippi is the live overlay for this pair. Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $87,989, a ratio of those two facts only.
Does this total include every USDA program in Mississippi?
The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup, not a program pie. $7,403,780,366.59 is the combined obligation sum for agency 012 inside Mississippi coding. Open Department of Agriculture in Mississippi to inspect award lines. 84,144 is an action count, not a program count. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not invent a CFDA split from the department label.
Is $7,403,780,366.59 cash already paid in Mississippi?
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 $7,403,780,366.59 as checks already cleared in Mississippi confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 84,144 awards. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.
Where is the live USDA–Mississippi table?
Department of Agriculture in Mississippi is the overlay. Mississippi 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 $7,403,780,366.59. Place of performance is MS, not a county map. Obligations are not outlays.
