USAspending.gov records $9,589,480,205.24 in Department of Agriculture obligations under awarding agency 012 with place of performance in Wisconsin, across 116,593 awards. Wisconsin’s USDA cell is a thick-file case in this slice: 116,593 awards against a $9.59 billion obligation sum. That arithmetic is a thick-file case: many rows against a large obligation sum, so the mean is pulled down by volume. The pair is Department of Agriculture and Wisconsin — not Wisconsin’s entire federal inflow and not cash already paid. Average obligation is about $82,247 ($9,589,480,205.24 ÷ 116,593).

  • Wisconsin federal spending and Department of Agriculture are parents, not amounts to add into $9,589,480,205.24.

What the USDA–Wisconsin join is

Awarding agency 012 and place-of-performance state WI meet here. $9,589,480,205.24 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 Wisconsin, and not an outlay register. Farm, conservation, nutrition, and related instruments can all sit under awarding agency 012. The packet does not split FNS, FSA, NRCS, or other USDA components. 116,593 is a very thick action file: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished.

Dividing $9,589,480,205.24 by 116,593 yields about $82,247 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line, and it is not a bushel total, not a farm census, and not a nutrition caseload. A second USDA slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Wisconsin’s 012 cell as a synonym for every USDA account.

Open Department of Agriculture in Wisconsin for the live filtered table, Wisconsin federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Agriculture for agency 012 without a Wisconsin filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $9,589,480,205.24.

Awarding agency 012 as the USDA side

USAspending labels awarding agency 012 as Department of Agriculture. That code produced $9,589,480,205.24 when crossed with Wisconsin place of performance. The agency-wide 012 hub does not require WI geography. The Wisconsin hub does not require USDA. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 116,593 awards.

This page reports agriculture awarding activity that USAspending coded to Wisconsin. Correlation is not causation: Wisconsin did not “cause” $9,589,480,205.24 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 012 × WI only. Farm, conservation, nutrition, and related instruments can all sit under awarding agency 012. The packet does not split FNS, FSA, NRCS, or other USDA components.

Questions

How much USDA spending is coded to Wisconsin?
USAspending.gov lists $9,589,480,205.24 in Department of Agriculture obligations across 116,593 Wisconsin-coded awards. Agency 012 × WI is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Wisconsin’s complete federal ledger. Department of Agriculture in Wisconsin is the live overlay for this pair. Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $82,247, a ratio of those two facts only.
Does this total include every USDA program in Wisconsin?
The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. Farm, conservation, nutrition, and related instruments can all sit under awarding agency 012. The packet does not split FNS, FSA, NRCS, or other USDA components. $9,589,480,205.24 is the combined obligation sum for agency 012 inside Wisconsin coding. This page will not invent a program pie. Open Department of Agriculture in Wisconsin to inspect award lines. 116,593 remains an action count, not a program count.
Is $9,589,480,205.24 cash already paid in Wisconsin?
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 $9,589,480,205.24 as checks already cleared in Wisconsin confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 116,593 awards. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.
Where is the live USDA–Wisconsin table?
Department of Agriculture in Wisconsin is the overlay. Wisconsin 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 $9,589,480,205.24. Place of performance is WI, not a county map. Obligations are not outlays.
