Agriculture awards tagged to Michigan

This page isolates awarding agency 012 and Michigan (MI) place of performance. The $15,909,117,776.32 total is the USAspending aggregate for that pair. Michigan’s all-agency hub includes Defense, HHS, and other departments; those are other columns. The national USDA hub includes every state. This cell is only 012 plus MI.

Seventy-three thousand seven hundred one awards is a high row count for an agriculture–state join. High counts often reflect many farm-program or nutrition-related actions rather than a few mega-contracts, but the packet does not classify those rows. Inferring a single commodity from the state tag would add a label the facts do not list. The Upper Peninsula and the Lower Peninsula share one MI code.

Michigan’s 73,701 USDA records and $15,909,117,776.32 cover two peninsulas under one MI code. Forest Service work in the Upper Peninsula and farm or nutrition actions in the Lower Peninsula, if both tagged 012 and MI, share $15,909,117,776.32. Cherry-festival color is not a fact. The mean near $215,860 is a ratio only.

Awarding agency 012

Code 012 is the Department of Agriculture in this extract. FNS, FSA, NRCS, Forest Service, and other USDA awarding offices can roll up under that parent. This packet does not split them. The overlay /states/mi/agencies/012/ is the table view of the same pair.

Readers who want USDA awards without a Michigan constraint should open the agency 012 hub. Stretching $15,909,117,776.32 into a national USDA total would drop the state filter.

Michigan as place of performance

Michigan is state code MI. Place of performance can follow work in-state, a recipient address, or a reporting convention. Awards coded to Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, or elsewhere stay outside this $15,909,117,776.32 sum even when farms and forests cross those lines. The join does not reconstruct those landscapes.

Statewide Michigan federal spending is the parent geography. USDA is one awarding agency inside it. A large agriculture cell does not make Michigan’s other agency cells small; those have their own facts.

Reading 73,701 awards under $15.91 billion

Mean obligation of about $215,860 ($15,909,117,776.32 ÷ 73,701) is a concentration statistic for a high-count book. Nutrition or farm-program actions, if present, can produce many modest rows; a few large conservation or facility awards can pull the mean up. This page has no median and no program split. 73,701 is an award-record count, not 73,701 farms.

Net obligations can include de-obligations. The average is not a typical crop payment or a typical school-meal invoice.

What the USDA–Michigan pair is not

Sharing a state with USDA does not mean Michigan campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. The page does not rank Michigan agriculture against other states. It reports one USAspending join.

How to read the Michigan–USDA numbers

Michigan USDA ($15,909,117,776.32, 73,701 awards) covers two peninsulas under one MI code. Upper Peninsula forests and Lower Peninsula farms, if both tagged 012 and MI, share $15,909,117,776.32. This aggregate will not split them. Cherry or auto-state color is not a fact here. Seventy-three thousand seven hundred one rows is a high-count book. High count often means many modest nutrition or farm actions plus some larger conservation or facility awards. The packet does not confirm that mix. The mean near $215,860 is a ratio only.

Ohio, Indiana, and Wisconsin bound Michigan; lakes are not extra codes. Awards tagged those neighbors stay out. Detroit, Grand Rapids, and the U.P. share MI inside this cell.
