Department of Agriculture federal obligations in Hawaii

USDA awards tagged to Hawaii

Department of Agriculture as awarding agency, Hawaii as place-of-performance: 5,975 records summing to $2,781,834,122.58. A Department of Agriculture award coded outside HI is out. An award in Hawaii from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Hawaii (HI) excludes California, Alaska, and any Pacific territory tag that is not HI. Place of performance is one state code.

Five thousand nine hundred seventy-five awards is a mid-count USDA file. Nutrition, conservation, forest, and farm instruments can share 012. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 5,975 as 5,975 unique farms, planted acres, or commodity output. The overlay Department of Agriculture in Hawaii is the both-keys table. Hawaii federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Agriculture is the agency book without an HI filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

This harvest does not say which instruments dominate the dollar total. Do not quote the cell as a crop report. Correlation is not causation: Hawaii did not “cause” $2,781,834,122.58 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 012 × HI only.

Not sugar, pineapple, or acreage

$2,781,834,122.58 does not measure farms, planted acres, or commodity output. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 012 and an HI place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 5,975 awards as a census of farms, planted acres, or commodity output. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Hawaii federal spending or Department of Agriculture matched $2,781,834,122.58 and 5,975, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. California and Alaska USDA joins are other pairs, not addends.

Hawaii, not a Pacific farm rollup

Place of performance HI is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Hawaii (HI) excludes California, Alaska, and any Pacific territory tag that is not HI. Place of performance is one state code. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This harvest does not say which instruments dominate the dollar total. Do not quote the cell as a crop report. This packet does not split $2,781,834,122.58 by city, county, or named facility. 5,975 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Mid-count file, still obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $2,781,834,122.58 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Hawaii confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Hawaii’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 5,975-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 $2,781,834,122.58.

Citing USDA in Hawaii

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Agriculture (agency 012) obligated $2,781,834,122.58 on 5,975 awards coded to Hawaii. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as farms, planted acres, or commodity output.

Prefer Department of Agriculture in Hawaii if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Hawaii federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to HI. Department of Agriculture is the 012 parent without the HI filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $2,781,834,122.58.

A usable footnote names Department of Agriculture, Hawaii, $2,781,834,122.58, and 5,975. The compact headline $2.78 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $465,579 is $2,781,834,122.58 divided by 5,975. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.

Questions

How much has the Department of Agriculture obligated in Hawaii?

USAspending.gov records $2,781,834,122.58 across 5,975 awards with awarding agency 012 and a Hawaii tag. That is an obligation join, not an outlay and not a count of farms, planted acres, or commodity output. Department of Agriculture in Hawaii is the live overlay for this pair. Keep both keys when quoting $2,781,834,122.58.

Is $2,781,834,122.58 a measure of farms, planted acres, or commodity output?

No. The packet publishes $2,781,834,122.58 and 5,975 awards for agency 012 inside HI coding. Those other series are unpublished here. Unique recipients are unpublished. Quote the dollar total and the award count together. Obligations are not outlays.

Why does this USDA file have 5,975 awards?

That is the award-record count for 012 × HI. Combined with $2,781,834,122.58, the average is about $465,579. Modifications and repeat instruments add rows. 5,975 is not unique farms, planted acres, or commodity output. Later ingests can revise the count. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.
