Department of Agriculture obligations in Kansas 1st District (KS-01)

A place-of-performance join: Agriculture × KS-01

Awarding agency 012 and congressional district KS-01 meet here. $620,149,736.17 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 Kansas 1st District (KS-01), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split USDA programs or contract versus assistance instruments. 80,086 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a farm census, a commodity ledger, or a named-grantee file.

Dividing $620,149,736.17 by 80,086 yields about $7,743.55 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 80,086 rows is a mass-action USDA file: orders, modifications, and repeat instruments multiply lines. The implied mean is pulled down by volume and is not a typical farm payment. Do not treat KS-01's 012 cell as a synonym for every Agriculture account nationwide. Open Kansas 1st District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of Agriculture for agency 012 without a KS-01 filter, Kansas federal spending for every awarding agency in the Kansas extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $620,149,736.17.

Department of Agriculture as awarding agency, not as a named-vendor list

USAspending labels awarding agency 012 as Department of Agriculture. That code produced $620,149,736.17 when crossed with Kansas 1st District (KS-01) place of performance. The agency-wide 012 hub does not require KS-01 geography. The district hub does not require Agriculture. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 80,086 awards. The packet does not split USDA programs or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Kansas 1st District (KS-01) did not cause $620,149,736.17 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 012 × KS-01 only. This cell is not a farm census, a commodity ledger, or a named-grantee file. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.

Obligation math for this join

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $620,149,736.17 is that kind of sum for Department of Agriculture inside KS-01 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. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $620,149,736.17 as given.

Kansas's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 80,086-row Agriculture cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 80,086 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. The implied mean ($7,743.55) is a concentration statistic, not a typical KS-01 Agriculture payment.

Using 8.7% and $7,743.55 without overclaiming

80,086 rows is a mass-action USDA file: orders, modifications, and repeat instruments multiply lines. The implied mean is pulled down by volume and is not a typical farm payment. A thick row count makes a program split tempting; the packet still publishes one Agriculture rollup. Other USDA district cells are not addends. A large row count makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $7,743.55) and the district share (8.7% of $7,167,173,314.22) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Kansas 1st District and Department of Agriculture if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Kansas 1st District (KS-01) as more Agriculture-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone.

All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.
