Department of Agriculture federal obligations in New Mexico

The Department of Agriculture shows $6,352,861,068.31 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to New Mexico, across 30,611 awards. Awarding-agency 012 and New Mexico (NM) are the pair. Thirty thousand six hundred eleven awards is a thick assistance-style USDA file. Volume can rise on recurring nutrition and farm rows without each row being a new producer. The implied mean is about $207,535 per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical project. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

USDA awards tagged to New Mexico

Department of Agriculture as awarding agency, New Mexico as place-of-performance: 30,611 records summing to $6,352,861,068.31. A Department of Agriculture award coded outside NM is out. An award in New Mexico from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. New Mexico (NM) excludes Texas, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, and Oklahoma. A El Paso-coded award is Texas.

Thirty thousand six hundred eleven awards is a thick assistance-style USDA file. Volume can rise on recurring nutrition and farm rows without each row being a new producer. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 30,611 as 30,611 unique farms, planted acres, or commodity output. The overlay Department of Agriculture in New Mexico is the both-keys table. New Mexico federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Agriculture is the agency book without an NM filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Nutrition, conservation, forest, and farm instruments can share 012. This packet does not say which dominate $6,352,861,068.31. Correlation is not causation: New Mexico did not “cause” $6,352,861,068.31 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 012 × NM only.

Not cattle, chile, or acreage

$6,352,861,068.31 does not measure farms, planted acres, or commodity output. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 012 and an NM place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 30,611 awards as a census of farms, planted acres, or commodity output. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If New Mexico federal spending or Department of Agriculture matched $6,352,861,068.31 and 30,611, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Texas, Arizona, and Colorado USDA joins are other pairs, not addends.

New Mexico, not a Four Corners rollup

Place of performance NM is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. New Mexico (NM) excludes Texas, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, and Oklahoma. A El Paso-coded award is Texas. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Nutrition, conservation, forest, and farm instruments can share 012. This packet does not say which dominate $6,352,861,068.31. This packet does not split $6,352,861,068.31 by city, county, or named facility. 30,611 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Many actions, still commitments

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $6,352,861,068.31 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in New Mexico confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

New Mexico’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 30,611-award 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 $6,352,861,068.31.

Citing USDA in New Mexico

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Agriculture (agency 012) obligated $6,352,861,068.31 on 30,611 awards coded to New Mexico. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as farms, planted acres, or commodity output.

Prefer Department of Agriculture in New Mexico if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. New Mexico federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to NM. Department of Agriculture is the 012 parent without the NM filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $6,352,861,068.31.

A usable footnote names Department of Agriculture, New Mexico, $6,352,861,068.31, and 30,611. The compact headline $6.35 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $207,535 is $6,352,861,068.31 divided by 30,611. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
