Department of Agriculture in New Mexico

USDA awards tagged to New Mexico

Department of Agriculture as awarding agency, New Mexico as place-of-performance: 30,611 records summing to $6,352,861,068.31. A Department of Agriculture award coded outside NM is out. An award in New Mexico from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. New Mexico (NM) excludes Texas, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, and Oklahoma. A El Paso-coded award is Texas.

Thirty thousand six hundred eleven awards is a thick assistance-style USDA file. Volume can rise on recurring nutrition and farm rows without each row being a new producer. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 30,611 as 30,611 unique farms, planted acres, or commodity output. The overlay Department of Agriculture in New Mexico is the both-keys table. New Mexico federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Agriculture is the agency book without an NM filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Nutrition, conservation, forest, and farm instruments can share 012. This packet does not say which dominate $6,352,861,068.31. Correlation is not causation: New Mexico did not “cause” $6,352,861,068.31 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 012 × NM only.

Not cattle, chile, or acreage

$6,352,861,068.31 does not measure farms, planted acres, or commodity output. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 012 and an NM place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 30,611 awards as a census of farms, planted acres, or commodity output. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If New Mexico federal spending or Department of Agriculture matched $6,352,861,068.31 and 30,611, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Texas, Arizona, and Colorado USDA joins are other pairs, not addends.
