Department of Agriculture federal obligations in Iowa

What the USDA–Iowa join is

Awarding agency 012 and place-of-performance state IA meet here. $8,832,227,387.17 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 Iowa, and not an outlay register. Farm, conservation, and nutrition instruments can all sit under 012. Three hundred seventy-three thousand rows make a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one.

373,689 is a thick action file: many rows against a mid-single-digit-billion obligation sum, so the mean is pulled down by volume. Modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. Dividing $8,832,227,387.17 by 373,689 yields about $23,635 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line.

Open Department of Agriculture in Iowa for the live filtered table, Iowa federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Agriculture for agency 012 without an Iowa filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $8,832,227,387.17.

Awarding agency 012 as the USDA side

USAspending labels awarding agency 012 as Department of Agriculture. That code produced $8,832,227,387.17 when crossed with Iowa place of performance. The agency-wide 012 hub does not require IA geography. The Iowa hub does not require USDA. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 373,689 awards.

A small implied mean is what a large row count does to an $8.83 billion numerator. It is not a typical Iowa farm’s federal check and not a commodity-program isolation. A second USDA slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Iowa’s 012 cell as a synonym for every USDA account.

Iowa as place of performance (IA)

Iowa on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to Iowa residents. Awards can list IA while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Wisconsin, or South Dakota belong on those ties even when the Corn Belt story is the same. Des Moines, Sioux City, and the rest of the ninety-nine counties share one IA stamp.

Iowa federal spending shows how agency 012 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same geography. $8,832,227,387.17 is one column in that table, not the table. This packet does not split Iowa by county, metro, or congressional district.

Obligations, not outlays

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $8,832,227,387.17 is that kind of sum for Department of Agriculture inside Iowa 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.

Iowa’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 373,689-row USDA cell leaves USAspending.gov. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $8,832,227,387.17 as given. Treat 373,689 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors.

Questions

How much USDA spending is coded to Iowa?

USAspending.gov lists $8,832,227,387.17 in Department of Agriculture obligations across 373,689 Iowa-coded awards. Agency 012 × IA is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Iowa’s complete federal ledger. Department of Agriculture in Iowa is the live overlay for this pair. Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $23,635, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does this total include every USDA program in Iowa?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. Farm, conservation, and nutrition instruments can all sit under 012. Three hundred seventy-three thousand rows make a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. $8,832,227,387.17 is the combined obligation sum for agency 012 inside Iowa coding. This page will not invent a program pie. Open Department of Agriculture in Iowa to inspect award lines. 373,689 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $8,832,227,387.17 cash already paid in Iowa?

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 $8,832,227,387.17 as checks already cleared in Iowa confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 373,689 awards. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.
