Department of Agriculture federal obligations in Kansas

The Department of Agriculture shows $5,571,935,594.18 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Kansas, across 451,839 awards. Awarding-agency 012 and Kansas (KS) are the pair. Four hundred fifty-one thousand eight hundred thirty-nine awards is an extreme-count USDA file. A low implied mean is the arithmetic of a huge denominator, not a typical payment. The implied mean is about $12,332 per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical project. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

An extreme-count USDA file on Kansas

Department of Agriculture as awarding agency, Kansas as place-of-performance: 451,839 records summing to $5,571,935,594.18. A Department of Agriculture award coded outside KS is out. An award in Kansas from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Kansas (KS) excludes Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Arkansas. A Kansas City, Missouri-coded award is MO.

Four hundred fifty-one thousand eight hundred thirty-nine awards is an extreme-count USDA file. A low implied mean is the arithmetic of a huge denominator, not a typical payment. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 451,839 as 451,839 unique farms, wheat acres, or unique producers. The overlay Department of Agriculture in Kansas is the both-keys table. Kansas federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Agriculture is the agency book without a KS filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Nutrition and farm-program rows can share 012. This packet does not say which mint the 451,839 actions. Correlation is not causation: Kansas did not “cause” $5,571,935,594.18 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 012 × KS only.

451,839 rows are not 451,839 farms

$5,571,935,594.18 does not measure farms, wheat 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 KS place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 451,839 awards as a census of farms, wheat acres, or unique producers. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Kansas federal spending or Department of Agriculture matched $5,571,935,594.18 and 451,839, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Missouri, Nebraska, and Oklahoma USDA joins are other pairs, not addends.

Kansas, not a High Plains commodity map

Place of performance KS is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Kansas (KS) excludes Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Arkansas. A Kansas City, Missouri-coded award is MO. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Nutrition and farm-program rows can share 012. This packet does not say which mint the 451,839 actions. This packet does not split $5,571,935,594.18 by city, county, or named facility. 451,839 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Payment-row volume still means obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $5,571,935,594.18 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Kansas confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Kansas’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 451,839-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 $5,571,935,594.18.

Citing USDA in Kansas

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Agriculture (agency 012) obligated $5,571,935,594.18 on 451,839 awards coded to Kansas. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as farms, wheat acres, or unique producers.

Prefer Department of Agriculture in Kansas if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Kansas federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to KS. Department of Agriculture is the 012 parent without the KS filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $5,571,935,594.18.

A usable footnote names Department of Agriculture, Kansas, $5,571,935,594.18, and 451,839. The compact headline $5.57 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $12,332 is $5,571,935,594.18 divided by 451,839. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
