Department of Agriculture federal obligations in Georgia

Agriculture awards tagged to Georgia

This page isolates awarding agency 012 and Georgia (GA) place of performance. The $19,403,920,148.73 total is the USAspending aggregate for that pair. Georgia’s all-agency hub includes Defense, HHS, and other departments; those are other columns. The national USDA hub includes every state. This cell is only 012 plus GA.

Ninety-eight thousand eight hundred thirty-three awards is a high row count for an agriculture–state join. High counts often reflect many farm-program or nutrition-related actions rather than a few mega-contracts, but the packet does not classify those rows. Inferring peanuts, poultry, or forestry from the state tag would add commodities the facts do not list.

Georgia’s 98,833 USDA records and $19,403,920,148.73 will be read as a farm story or a nutrition story depending on the reader. The file supports neither reading exclusively. Agency 012 can include both, plus conservation and Forest Service. The $196,330 mean is dollars divided by rows, not a typical peanut or poultry payment.

Awarding agency 012

Code 012 is the Department of Agriculture in this extract. FNS, FSA, NRCS, Forest Service, and other USDA awarding offices can roll up under that parent. This packet does not split them. The overlay /states/ga/agencies/012/ is the table view of the same pair.

Readers who want USDA awards without a Georgia constraint should open the agency 012 hub. Stretching $19,403,920,148.73 into a national USDA total would drop the state filter.

Georgia as place of performance

Georgia is state code GA. Place of performance can follow work in-state, a recipient address, or a reporting convention. Awards coded to Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee, or North Carolina stay outside this $19,403,920,148.73 sum even when farms and forests cross those lines. The join does not reconstruct those landscapes.

Statewide Georgia federal spending is the parent geography. USDA is one awarding agency inside it. A large agriculture cell does not make Georgia’s other agency cells small; those have their own facts.

Reading 98,833 awards under $19.40 billion

Mean obligation of about $196,330 ($19,403,920,148.73 ÷ 98,833) is a concentration statistic for a high-count book. Nutrition or farm-program actions, if present, can produce many modest rows; a few large conservation or facility awards can pull the mean up. This page has no median and no program split. 98,833 is an award-record count, not 98,833 farms.

Net obligations can include de-obligations. The average is not a typical crop-insurance indemnity or a typical school-meal invoice.

What the USDA–Georgia pair is not

Sharing a state with USDA does not mean Georgia campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. The page does not rank Georgia agriculture against other states. It reports one USAspending join.

How to read the Georgia–USDA numbers

Georgia USDA ($19,403,920,148.73, 98,833 awards) is a nutrition-and-farm-shaped high-count book if one is guessing — and guessing is the problem. SNAP, crop programs, and Forest Service timber can all sit under 012. The $19,403,920,148.73 total does not say which. Commodity boasts do not belong on this page. Ninety-eight thousand eight hundred thirty-three rows will include many small actions if farm or nutrition files are in the mix. Unique-farm counts would be smaller. The packet gives no unique-recipient field. 98,833 remains a row census.

Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee, and North Carolina ring Georgia. Piedmont and Coastal Plain agriculture ignore those rings. USAspending does not. Non-GA tags are outside this cell. Atlanta and the rest of the state share GA.
