Agricultural Conservation Easements awarded by USDA

Agricultural Conservation Easements overlapping USDA — CFDA 10.931

The pair is Agricultural Conservation Easement Program × Department of Agriculture. $6,027,023,868.98 is the obligation aggregate for rows that carry both CFDA 10.931 and awarding-agency 012. The join obligation $6,027,023,868.98 equals the CFDA program total of $6,027,023,868.98 in this extract, so this packet does not publish a leftover Agricultural Conservation Easements slice at a second awarding agency. Correlation is not causation: the join does not prove that Department of Agriculture caused Agricultural Conservation Easements activity, only that USAspending coded the two keys together. It is not a county easement ranking or a named landowner roster.

SpendingVault indexes the cell from USAspending.gov. The catalog title on the program side is AGRICULTURAL CONSERVATION EASEMENT PROGRAM. The agency name on the awarding side is Department of Agriculture. Neither label is a contractor, a place of performance, or a fiscal-year stamp — this packet publishes no fiscal year. Cite $6,027,023,868.98 as obligations on the Agricultural Conservation Easements–USDA pair.

CFDA 10.931 as the agricultural conservation easement side

CFDA 10.931 is the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance identifier for Agricultural Conservation Easement Program. The program-wide obligation total in this extract is $6,027,023,868.98. That figure is a program rollup, not a second headline for the Department of Agriculture slice unless the two amounts match. Do not treat $6,027,023,868.98 as cash Treasury already sent. Landowners, acres, and deed identifiers are unpublished on this packet.

Open CFDA 10.931 at /programs/10.931/ for the program hub. That page is not this join: it can include other awarding agencies if the extract lists them, and it is still obligations rather than outlays. This ties page stays on CFDA 10.931 awarded by agency 012 only.

Agency 012, Department of Agriculture

Department of Agriculture is awarding-agency 012 on USAspending assistance rows. The agency hub Department of Agriculture at /agencies/012/ rolls up every program that agency awards in the index, not only Agricultural Conservation Easements. Reading $6,027,023,868.98 as Department of Agriculture’s entire book would over-read this cell. The join is one CFDA inside one agency, not a department budget justification.

1,723 awards as a CFDA table, not a parcel census

The extract lists 1,723 awards on the Agricultural Conservation Easements × Department of Agriculture table. That is an award-record count, not a census of easements. Unique recipients are unpublished. Modifications can add rows without naming a new organization. Dividing $6,027,023,868.98 by 1,723 is not published here as a typical award size, because the packet does not say the rows are comparable.

Acreage rankings this easement–USDA join cannot support

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $6,027,023,868.98 is the former. Citing it as cash already cleared on Agricultural Conservation Easements over-reads the field. The join cannot say that Department of Agriculture specialized in Agricultural Conservation Easements because of a policy success metric this packet omits. Keep $6,027,023,868.98 labeled as Agricultural Conservation Easement Program obligations awarded by Department of Agriculture.

Budget justifications, program evaluations, and press releases answer other questions. They are not the source of this cell. If a chart mixes a different CFDA with Department of Agriculture or a different awarding agency with Agricultural Conservation Easement Program, the chart has left this join. Landowners, acres, and deed identifiers are unpublished on this packet.
