Emergency Commodity Assistance Program in North Dakota

North Dakota x 10.121 is a producer-row join

This tie pairs CFDA 10.121, EMERGENCY COMMODITY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, with North Dakota place of performance. The $665,376,189.02 on 32,657 awards is the signature of many modest assistance rows rather than one formula grant to a state department of agriculture. The packet still does not name commodities, counties, or producers. Treat the pair as an obligation rollup, not a crop-loss survey and not a ranking of North Dakota agriculture against Kansas or Nebraska 10.121 joins.

Other USDA listings — crop insurance, conservation, or Supplemental Disaster Relief on CFDA 10.988 — sit outside $665,376,189.02 unless they also carry 10.121. Adding this total to another farm CFDA would assume non-overlapping awards, which this packet does not establish. Correlation between the obligation sum and a harvest year is not causation. This packet has no year and no weather table. Place of performance as North Dakota locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $665,376,189.02 in the state treasury or count farms.

32,657 awards and a five-figure dollars-per-row mean

If $665,376,189.02 were spread evenly across 32,657 awards, the mechanical mean would be about $20,375 per row. That average is arithmetic on the packet, not a published payment rate, and the distribution can be skewed. Award count is a row count of assistance awards, which in farm programs often tracks producer applications. It is not a farm census, not a county count, and not a bushel count.

Thirty-two thousand lines cannot be scanned as a narrative. Sort the North Dakota 10.121 overlay by amount to see concentration. Repeat producers can appear on more than one row. Empty recipient-name cells, if present, are a display issue on producer files, not proof of zero dollars. This page will not invent a producer directory. The $665,376,189.02 total remains the tagged join.

Questions

How much Emergency Commodity Assistance is obligated in North Dakota?

USAspending.gov shows $665,376,189.02 in obligations for CFDA 10.121 with North Dakota as place of performance, across 32,657 awards. The sum is a commitment total on assistance awards, not outlays and not North Dakota's full USDA ledger. Other farm listings are outside this join unless they also carry 10.121.

Why does North Dakota 10.121 have tens of thousands of awards?

Emergency commodity assistance often posts as many producer-level assistance rows rather than one state grant. The extract lists 32,657 awards totaling $665,376,189.02. Award count is not a farm census and may include repeat lines. The packet does not name producers or commodities.

Is this the same as North Dakota disaster crop payments?

Not automatically. This page is CFDA 10.121 only. Other USDA disaster listings, including Supplemental Disaster Relief on 10.988, use different CFDA numbers. Those dollars are not inside $665,376,189.02 unless the award also carries 10.121. The packet has no crop or weather table.

Are the $665 million already paid to North Dakota producers?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $665,376,189.02 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault's extract. Payment dates, offsets, and remaining balances are not published in this packet.
