Department of Agriculture federal obligations in New Hampshire
Department of Agriculture shows $1,080,616,752.22 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to New Hampshire, across 3,460 awards. Awarding-agency 012 and New Hampshire (NH) are the pair. 3,460 awards against $1,080,616,752.22 is a 3,460-award agriculture file, many rows on a small state. The implied mean is about $312,316.98 per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical invoice. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

Agency 012 overlapping New Hampshire
Department of Agriculture as awarding agency, New Hampshire as place-of-performance: 3,460 records summing to $1,080,616,752.22. A Department of Agriculture award coded outside NH is out. An award in New Hampshire from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. New Hampshire (NH) excludes Maine, Vermont, and Massachusetts. A Manchester-coded award with a Massachusetts place-of-performance tag is a different cell.
3,460 awards against $1,080,616,752.22 is a 3,460-award agriculture file, many rows on a small state. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 3460 as 3460 unique farm counts, SNAP households, or named forest units. Department of Agriculture in New Hampshire is the both-keys table. New Hampshire federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Agriculture is the agency book without an NH filter. All spending ties lists other joins.
Nutrition, conservation, and forest programs are not split on this aggregate. The code is 012. Correlation is not causation: New Hampshire did not cause $1,080,616,752.22 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 012 × NH only.
Farm folklore is not a packet field
$1,080,616,752.22 does not measure farm counts, SNAP households, or named forest units. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 012 and an NH place-of-performance tag.
Do not treat 3460 awards as a census of farm counts, SNAP households, or named forest units. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If New Hampshire federal spending or Department of Agriculture matched $1,080,616,752.22 and 3460, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state USDA joins are other pairs, not addends.
New Hampshire, not a Seacoast-only map
Place of performance NH is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. New Hampshire (NH) excludes Maine, Vermont, and Massachusetts. A Manchester-coded award with a Massachusetts place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.
This packet does not split $1,080,616,752.22 by city, county, or named facility. 3460 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.
Thousands of USDA obligations
Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $1,080,616,752.22 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in New Hampshire confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.
New Hampshire’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 3,460 awards USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $1,080,616,752.22. Sharing a geography with Department of Agriculture does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.
Citing USDA in New Hampshire
Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Agriculture (agency 012) obligated $1,080,616,752.22 on 3,460 awards coded to New Hampshire. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as farm counts, SNAP households, or named forest units.
Prefer Department of Agriculture in New Hampshire if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. New Hampshire federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to NH. Department of Agriculture is the 012 parent without the NH filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,080,616,752.22.
A usable footnote names Department of Agriculture, New Hampshire, $1,080,616,752.22, and 3460. The compact headline $1.08B is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $312,316.98 is $1,080,616,752.22 divided by 3460. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
A small state can still carry thousands of USDA rows
New Hampshire’s USDA overlay is 3460 awards totaling $1,080,616,752.22. Maple, dairy, and White Mountain folklore are unpublished. Nutrition and forest programs are not split. Massachusetts Commerce in this slice is a different agency and a different state.
