Agriculture awards tagged to North Carolina

This page isolates awarding agency 012 and North Carolina (NC) place of performance. The $16,385,691,989.32 total is the USAspending aggregate for that pair. Defense in North Carolina uses agency 097 and a different overlay. Mixing the two without labeling filters would confuse departments. This cell is only 012 plus NC.

Sixty-eight thousand five hundred forty-five 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.

North Carolina’s 68,545 USDA records and $16,385,691,989.32 sit beside a much higher-count Defense cell for the same state. Beside is not a ranking of farm versus fort. Agency 012 is Agriculture. Commodity lists — tobacco, poultry, hogs — are not in the packet and do not belong in the citation. The citation is 012, NC, dollars, and rows.

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/nc/agencies/012/ is the table view of the same pair.

Readers who want USDA awards without a North Carolina constraint should open the agency 012 hub. Stretching $16,385,691,989.32 into a national USDA total would drop the state filter.
