Department of Agriculture federal obligations in Indiana
USAspending.gov records $10,345,550,268.53 in Department of Agriculture obligations under awarding agency 012 with place of performance in Indiana, across 133,886 awards. Indiana’s USDA cell is a thick-file case in this slice: 133,886 awards against a $10.35 billion obligation sum. That arithmetic is a thick-file case: many rows against a large obligation sum, so the mean is pulled down by volume. The pair is Department of Agriculture and Indiana — not Indiana’s entire federal inflow and not cash already paid. Average obligation is about $77,271 ($10,345,550,268.53 ÷ 133,886).

What the USDA–Indiana join is
Awarding agency 012 and place-of-performance state IN meet here. $10,345,550,268.53 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 Indiana, 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. 133,886 is a very thick action file: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished.
Dividing $10,345,550,268.53 by 133,886 yields about $77,271 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 Indiana’s 012 cell as a synonym for every USDA account.
Open Department of Agriculture in Indiana for the live filtered table, Indiana federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Agriculture for agency 012 without a Indiana filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $10,345,550,268.53.
Awarding agency 012 as the USDA side
USAspending labels awarding agency 012 as Department of Agriculture. That code produced $10,345,550,268.53 when crossed with Indiana place of performance. The agency-wide 012 hub does not require IN geography. The Indiana hub does not require USDA. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 133,886 awards.
This page reports agriculture awarding activity that USAspending coded to Indiana. Correlation is not causation: Indiana did not “cause” $10,345,550,268.53 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 012 × IN 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.
Indiana as place of performance (IN)
Indiana on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to Indiana residents. Awards can list IN while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, or Kentucky belong on those ties even when a Midwest manufacturing story is the same. Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, and the rest of the counties share one IN stamp. Place of performance is IN, not a county map.
Indiana federal spending shows how agency 012 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same geography. $10,345,550,268.53 is one column in that table, not the table. This packet does not split Indiana 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. $10,345,550,268.53 is that kind of sum for Department of Agriculture inside Indiana 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.
Indiana’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 133,886-row USDA cell leaves USAspending.gov. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $10,345,550,268.53 as given. Treat 133,886 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.
How to cite USDA in Indiana
Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Agriculture (agency 012) obligated $10,345,550,268.53 on 133,886 awards coded to Indiana. Name Department of Agriculture and Indiana together. Keep the obligation word. If Department of Agriculture in Indiana has refreshed, quote the overlay over this snapshot. The pair is not a bushel total, not a farm census, and not a nutrition caseload.
Keep Department of Agriculture, Indiana, $10,345,550,268.53, and 133,886 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of Agriculture is the 012 parent without a Indiana 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 a thick USDA file in Indiana
133,886 is a very thick action file: many rows against $10,345,550,268.53. A large row count makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. Modifications, orders, and repeat instruments add rows without proving 133,886 unique recipients. The implied mean (about $77,271) is pulled down by volume. It is a concentration statistic, not a typical Indiana USDA payment.
Do not rank Indiana as more USDA-dependent than neighboring states on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 012 ties with different dollar totals. This snapshot holds $10,345,550,268.53 and 133,886 only. Prefer Department of Agriculture in Indiana if the live table moved.
Questions

- USAspending.gov lists $10,345,550,268.53 in Department of Agriculture obligations across 133,886 Indiana-coded awards. Agency 012 × IN is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Indiana’s complete federal ledger. Department of Agriculture in Indiana is the live overlay for this pair.
