Crop Insurance federal obligations in Iowa

RMA catalog line meets Iowa place of performance

This tie keeps USAspending assistance where CFDA 10.450 meets Iowa place of performance. The dollar book is $1,927,580,394.26. The award count is 29. Federal crop-insurance activity in USAspending can include premium subsidies and related assistance posted to a modest number of prime records rather than one row per policy. Twenty-nine awards do not mean 29 farms bought coverage.

The join does not prove that Iowa’s corn-and-soy mix, planted acreage, or a particular weather year caused $1,927,580,394.26. Those are other series. This packet does not split corn from soybeans or premium subsidy from other 10.450 actions. Correlation is not causation.

A reader who treats the cell as Iowa’s full USDA obligation book has left the CFDA-by-state definition. The 29 figure is a record count, including modifications in the extract, not a policy count or a harvested-acre total.

Twenty-nine awards and a blended mean

Twenty-nine awards under $1,927,580,394.26 imply a mean near $66,468,289 per award. A few large subsidy or reinsurance-related actions can pull that average up. The packet has no median and no crop-share split.

Compared with high-volume benefit files that post thousands of rows, 29 records is a compact tape for nearly $1.93 billion. Volume and dollars are different columns. Cite both. USAspending.gov is the source; SpendingVault does not recast the mean as a typical farm premium subsidy.

Iowa’s 10.450 cell versus the statewide USDA stack

Iowa’s state hub stacks every CFDA with performance coded to the state. Crop Insurance is one USDA line among farm-bill and conservation programs. $1,927,580,394.26 is not Iowa’s all-program total. The nationwide CFDA 10.450 page includes every state, so it is not this cell.

Place-of-performance for crop-insurance assistance can sit on Iowa even when the approved insurance provider is incorporated elsewhere. This packet does not reallocate policies by county. Read the overlay as a coding view of 29 awards.

Obligations versus indemnities paid

The $1,927,580,394.26 figure is an obligation sum. Outlays, including any indemnities that post on a different timing, are a different series. SpendingVault does not publish a 10.450-in-Iowa outlay total in this packet. Mixing planted-acre or yield statistics with this award file leaves the USAspending series.

Cite the join as CFDA 10.450 × Iowa, $1,927,580,394.26, 29 awards, obligations only.

Where to open the table

The Iowa × Crop Insurance overlay is the table view of the join. Recipient slices on that hub still sum toward $1,927,580,394.26 on 29 awards. The Iowa spending page and the CFDA 10.450 program page are the parents. The Iowa programs index and the ties index list other program–state pairs.

None of those links convert the cell into bushels or into outlays this packet omits.

What Iowa crop insurance is not

Crop Insurance in Iowa is not a bushel ranking, not a planted-acre total, and not a count of farms. The $1,927,580,394.26 figure is the CFDA 10.450 × Iowa cell. Twenty-nine awards describe how RMA-related assistance was filed, not 29 policies. Corn, soybean, and other crop shares are not in this packet. Premium subsidies and other 10.450 actions are not split here.

Iowa’s Coronavirus Relief Fund cell is a different Treasury catalog number with a one-award tape. Do not add 10.450 and 21.019 from memory. Cite Crop Insurance and Iowa together, keep the obligation label, and keep the 29-award count. Later bulk files can revise both dollars and the record count.

Iowa’s crop-insurance cell also does not include county planted-acre tables, loss ratios, or Approved Insurance Provider shares. Those series live with RMA. SpendingVault cites USAspending.gov obligations only: CFDA 10.450 × Iowa, $1,927,580,394.26, 29 awards. If a later extract revises the 29-row tape, the implied mean near $66,468,289 moves with it. Quote the packet facts and the overlay path rather than a harvest story.
