USDA awards tagged to Connecticut

Department of Agriculture as awarding agency, Connecticut as place-of-performance: 2,825 records summing to $3,943,180,859.38. A Department of Agriculture award coded outside CT is out. An award in Connecticut from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Connecticut (CT) excludes New York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. A White Plains-coded award is New York.

Two thousand eight hundred twenty-five awards is a mid-count USDA file — not a Plains flood, not a handful of oversized rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 2,825 as 2,825 unique farms, planted acres, or unique producers. The overlay Department of Agriculture in Connecticut is the both-keys table. Connecticut federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Agriculture is the agency book without a CT filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Nutrition, conservation, research, and farm instruments can share 012. Do not treat the cell as a crop report. $3,943,180,859.38 stays statewide. Correlation is not causation: Connecticut did not “cause” $3,943,180,859.38 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 012 × CT only.

Not dairy acres or a New England farm census

$3,943,180,859.38 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 CT place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 2,825 awards as a census of farms, planted acres, or unique producers. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Connecticut federal spending or Department of Agriculture matched $3,943,180,859.38 and 2,825, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. New York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island USDA joins are other pairs, not addends.

Connecticut, not a New York metro rollup

Place of performance CT is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Connecticut (CT) excludes New York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. A White Plains-coded award is New York. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Nutrition, conservation, research, and farm instruments can share 012. Do not treat the cell as a crop report. $3,943,180,859.38 stays statewide. This packet does not split $3,943,180,859.38 by city, county, or named facility. 2,825 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Nutrition and farm instruments unpublished, still obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $3,943,180,859.38 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Connecticut confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Connecticut’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 2,825-award USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $3,943,180,859.38. Sharing a state with USDA does not mean campaign donations funded these awards.

Citing USDA in Connecticut

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Agriculture (agency 012) obligated $3,943,180,859.38 on 2,825 awards coded to Connecticut. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as farms, planted acres, or unique producers.

Prefer Department of Agriculture in Connecticut if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Connecticut federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to CT. Department of Agriculture is the 012 parent without the CT filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $3,943,180,859.38.

A usable footnote names Department of Agriculture, Connecticut, $3,943,180,859.38, and 2,825. The compact headline $3.94 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $1.40 million is $3,943,180,859.38 divided by 2,825. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
