Department of Agriculture in Utah

USDA awards tagged to Utah

Department of Agriculture as awarding agency, Utah as place-of-performance: 14,511 records summing to $3,664,735,653.88. A Department of Agriculture award coded outside UT is out. An award in Utah from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Utah (UT) excludes Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico. A Las Vegas-coded award is Nevada.

Fourteen thousand five 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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 14,511 as 14,511 unique farms, planted acres, or unique producers. The overlay Department of Agriculture in Utah is the both-keys table. Utah federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Agriculture is the agency book without a UT filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Nutrition, conservation, forest, and farm instruments can share 012. This packet does not say which dominate $3,664,735,653.88. Correlation is not causation: Utah did not “cause” $3,664,735,653.88 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 012 × UT only.

Not cattle, alfalfa, or acreage

$3,664,735,653.88 does not measure farms, planted acres, or unique producers. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 012 and a UT place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 14,511 awards as a census of farms, planted acres, or unique producers. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Utah federal spending or Department of Agriculture matched $3,664,735,653.88 and 14,511, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Idaho, Colorado, and Nevada USDA joins are other pairs, not addends.
