Department of Agriculture obligations in Mississippi 3rd District (MS-03)

USDA × MS-03 is a farm-program join, not an acre census

This page is a join: Department of Agriculture and Mississippi 3rd District (MS-03). SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $606,031,798.05 on 10,456 awards for awarding agency 012 with Mississippi 3rd District (MS-03) as place of performance. Agency 012 crossed with Mississippi 3rd District (MS-03) is a USDA listing filter, not a farm-acre census and not Mississippi's entire Agriculture book. Treat the pair as a table intersection, not a ranking of districts as winners or losers, and not a claim that 10,456 awards equal that many farms, acres, or named producers.

Interior, Commerce, or EPA awards that mention rural development sit outside this cell unless they also carry agency 012 and MS-03 geography. Correlation between this obligation sum and local activity statistics is not causation. Those statistics are not in the packet. Place of performance as MS-03 locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $606,031,798.05 in a district treasury. Campaign contributions recorded on FEC.gov do not fund this USAspending cell.

10,456 Agriculture rows on a mid-nine-figure book

Ten thousand four hundred fifty-six records is a thick farm-program file. Commodity and conservation actions often post thousands of rows; the count is still records, not a census of farms. Mean obligation is about $57,960 if $606,031,798.05 were divided evenly across 10,456 lines. That ratio is a quotient of two packet facts, not a published typical award. Award count is a row count of USAspending awards, including possible modifications. It is not a census of farms, acres, or named producers. Unique recipients are unpublished.

Agency code 012 is the Department of Agriculture. The awarding-agency tag does not name FSA offices, producers, or commodity programs. This packet lists none of them. County FSA offices and producer names are unpublished. Do not treat 10,456 as 10,456 unique farms. Open Mississippi 3rd District (/districts/MS-03/) for the stored district table and Department of Agriculture (/agencies/012/) for the national agency shelf. The $606,031,798.05 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards.

Mississippi 3rd District as USDA place of performance

Mississippi 3rd District (MS-03) is a congressional place-of-performance code. Other Mississippi districts are other joins. A Louisiana-coded Agriculture award is another cell. The district's all-agency obligation total is $13,628,610,871.42. $606,031,798.05 is the Department of Agriculture slice of that book, about 4.4%. Remaining district dollars sit with other awarding agencies on Mississippi 3rd District, not inside this join. Mississippi federal spending (/states/ms/) is the statewide parent.

An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment. The $606,031,798.05 headline is the obligation sum, not commodity payments already issued. No fiscal year is attached in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Citing the figure as cash already sent in Mississippi 3rd District (MS-03) confuses two USAspending concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Agriculture obligations are not crop checks already cashed

The extract has no roster of farms, acres, or named producers. Facts remain $606,031,798.05, 10,456 awards, agency 012 (Department of Agriculture), Mississippi 3rd District (MS-03), and a district-wide book of $13,628,610,871.42. This page will not invent a contractor league table. Sibling district-agency joins are separate obligation totals, not a better or worse score. Confusing this join with a statewide Agriculture total or a crop-yield ranking would be a different overlay.

Keep the obligation word on $606,031,798.05. Keep both Department of Agriculture and Mississippi 3rd District (MS-03) in the citation. All spending ties (/ties/) indexes other pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of Mississippi spending or of Department of Agriculture's national book the packet never computed. The $606,031,798.05 figure is the tagged pair only.

Citing agency 012 in Mississippi 3rd District (MS-03)

A clean footnote names Department of Agriculture (agency 012), Mississippi 3rd District (MS-03), $606,031,798.05 in obligations, and 10,456 awards on USAspending.gov. Start at /districts/MS-03/ for the district overlay, /agencies/012/ for the agency rollup, /states/ms/ for Mississippi statewide spending, and /ties/ for other pairs. If a later ingest moves the live overlay, prefer the overlay when the table and this snapshot diverge. A ties page exists because two tables meet.
