Department of Agriculture in Minnesota 3rd District (MN-03)

Agriculture × MN-03 is a district-share cell

Agency 012 and Minnesota 3rd District (MN-03) meet in one place-of-performance cell. $1,238,823,641.26 is the obligation sum tagged to that pair. It is not the district's full $5,911,082,525.30 book, not every Agriculture dollar in Minnesota, and not an outlay. The Minnesota 3rd District hub still lists other awarding agencies; the Department of Agriculture hub still lists other districts.

21.0% of the district book is a large slice for one awarding agency, still not a farm census. 108 rows are not 108 unique farms. Commodity and conservation splits are unpublished. A suburban-district label does not change the packet: geography is place of performance, not a crop-acre inventory. Correlation with local food-system news is not causation.

MN-03's district book beside agency 012

21.0% of $5,911,082,525.30 is tagged to Department of Agriculture in this extract. Other awarding agencies fill the remainder of Minnesota 3rd District. Adding those rows into $1,238,823,641.26 would double-count. The Minnesota 3rd District page at /districts/MN-03/ is the parent without an agency-012 filter.

Department of Agriculture at /agencies/012/ drops the MN-03 filter. Minnesota federal spending at /states/mn/ drops the district cut. All spending ties at /ties/ indexes other pairs. Do not treat $1,238,823,641.26 as statewide Agriculture obligations or as cash already paid.

108 records are not unique producers

108 is the join award-record count, not unique recipients. Dividing $1,238,823,641.26 by 108 would invent a typical payment the packet never computed. Named producers and processors are unpublished. Keep the row count on the join.

Place of performance is a geography tag, not proof that a USDA state office sits in MN-03. Keep agency 012 and Minnesota 3rd District on the same citation as $1,238,823,641.26.
