Department of Agriculture federal obligations in Missouri
USAspending.gov records $11,507,863,336.07 in Department of Agriculture obligations under awarding agency 012 with place of performance in Missouri, across 229,571 awards. Missouri’s USDA cell is a thick-file case in this slice: 229,571 awards against a $11.51 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 Missouri — not Missouri’s entire federal inflow and not cash already paid. Average obligation is about $50,128 ($11,507,863,336.07 ÷ 229,571).

What the USDA–Missouri join is
Awarding agency 012 and place-of-performance state MO meet here. $11,507,863,336.07 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 Missouri, 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. 229,571 is a very thick action file: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished.
Dividing $11,507,863,336.07 by 229,571 yields about $50,128 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 Missouri’s 012 cell as a synonym for every USDA account.
Open Department of Agriculture in Missouri for the live filtered table, Missouri federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Agriculture for agency 012 without a Missouri filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $11,507,863,336.07.
Awarding agency 012 as the USDA side
USAspending labels awarding agency 012 as Department of Agriculture. That code produced $11,507,863,336.07 when crossed with Missouri place of performance. The agency-wide 012 hub does not require MO geography. The Missouri hub does not require USDA. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 229,571 awards.
This page reports agriculture awarding activity that USAspending coded to Missouri. Correlation is not causation: Missouri did not “cause” $11,507,863,336.07 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 012 × MO 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.
Missouri as place of performance (MO)
Missouri on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to Missouri residents. Awards can list MO while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, or Kentucky belong on those ties even when a Midwest or Mississippi River story is the same. St. Louis, Kansas City, and the rest of the counties share one MO stamp. Place of performance is MO, not a county map.
Missouri federal spending shows how agency 012 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same geography. $11,507,863,336.07 is one column in that table, not the table. This packet does not split Missouri 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. $11,507,863,336.07 is that kind of sum for Department of Agriculture inside Missouri 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.
Missouri’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 229,571-row USDA cell leaves USAspending.gov. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $11,507,863,336.07 as given. Treat 229,571 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 Missouri

Keep Department of Agriculture, Missouri, $11,507,863,336.07, and 229,571 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of Agriculture is the 012 parent without a Missouri 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 Missouri
229,571 is a very thick action file: many rows against $11,507,863,336.07. 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 229,571 unique recipients. The implied mean (about $50,128) is pulled down by volume. It is a concentration statistic, not a typical Missouri USDA payment.
Do not rank Missouri 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 $11,507,863,336.07 and 229,571 only. Prefer Department of Agriculture in Missouri if the live table moved.
Questions

- USAspending.gov lists $11,507,863,336.07 in Department of Agriculture obligations across 229,571 Missouri-coded awards. Agency 012 × MO is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Missouri’s complete federal ledger. Department of Agriculture in Missouri is the live overlay for this pair. Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $50,128, a ratio of those two facts only.
