Department of Agriculture federal obligations in Arizona

What the USDA–Arizona join is

Awarding agency 012 and place-of-performance state AZ meet here. $9,597,849,931.44 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 Arizona, 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. 24,054 is a substantial action file: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished.

Dividing $9,597,849,931.44 by 24,054 yields about $399,013 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 Arizona’s 012 cell as a synonym for every USDA account.

Open Department of Agriculture in Arizona for the live filtered table, Arizona federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Agriculture for agency 012 without a Arizona filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $9,597,849,931.44.

Awarding agency 012 as the USDA side

USAspending labels awarding agency 012 as Department of Agriculture. That code produced $9,597,849,931.44 when crossed with Arizona place of performance. The agency-wide 012 hub does not require AZ geography. The Arizona hub does not require USDA. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 24,054 awards.

This page reports agriculture awarding activity that USAspending coded to Arizona. Correlation is not causation: Arizona did not “cause” $9,597,849,931.44 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 012 × AZ 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.

Arizona as place of performance (AZ)

Arizona on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to Arizona residents. Awards can list AZ while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, or New Mexico belong on those ties even when a Southwest story is the same. Phoenix, Tucson, and the rest of the counties share one AZ stamp. Place of performance is AZ, not a county map.

Arizona federal spending shows how agency 012 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same geography. $9,597,849,931.44 is one column in that table, not the table. This packet does not split Arizona by county, metro, or congressional district. Awards that carry a different awarding-agency code stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to USDA.

Obligations, not outlays

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $9,597,849,931.44 is that kind of sum for Department of Agriculture inside Arizona coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same awarding-agency rollup; this packet does not split them.

Arizona’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 24,054-row USDA cell leaves USAspending.gov. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $9,597,849,931.44 as given. Treat 24,054 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished.

Keep Department of Agriculture, Arizona, $9,597,849,931.44, and 24,054 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of Agriculture is the 012 parent without a Arizona filter. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a state with USDA does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.

Reading the USDA–Arizona award mix

24,054 is a substantial action file: 24,054 rows against $9,597,849,931.44, with an implied mean of about $399,013. That mix is neither the thickest USDA-style action books nor the sparsest Energy-style files in this portfolio. It still does not publish a median, a program pie, or a unique-recipient count. Treat 24,054 as award records.

The overlay Department of Agriculture in Arizona is the both-keys table. Arizona federal spending and Department of Agriculture are parents. All spending ties lists other agency-state pairs. Those hubs are not addends to $9,597,849,931.44.

Questions

How much USDA spending is coded to Arizona?

USAspending.gov lists $9,597,849,931.44 in Department of Agriculture obligations across 24,054 Arizona-coded awards. Agency 012 × AZ is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Arizona’s complete federal ledger. Department of Agriculture in Arizona is the live overlay for this pair. Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $399,013, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does this total include every USDA program in Arizona?

The packet does not split FNS, FSA, NRCS, or other USDA components. $9,597,849,931.44 is the combined obligation sum for agency 012 inside Arizona coding. This page will not invent a program pie.

Is $9,597,849,931.44 cash already paid in Arizona?

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 $9,597,849,931.44 as checks already cleared in Arizona confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 24,054 awards. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.
