Department of Agriculture federal obligations in North Carolina

Agriculture awards tagged to North Carolina

This page isolates awarding agency 012 and North Carolina (NC) place of performance. The $16,385,691,989.32 total is the USAspending aggregate for that pair. Defense in North Carolina uses agency 097 and a different overlay. Mixing the two without labeling filters would confuse departments. This cell is only 012 plus NC.

Sixty-eight thousand five hundred forty-five awards is a high row count for an agriculture–state join. High counts often reflect many farm-program or nutrition-related actions rather than a few mega-contracts, but the packet does not classify those rows. Inferring a single commodity from the state tag would add a label the facts do not list.

North Carolina’s 68,545 USDA records and $16,385,691,989.32 sit beside a much higher-count Defense cell for the same state. Beside is not a ranking of farm versus fort. Agency 012 is Agriculture. Commodity lists — tobacco, poultry, hogs — are not in the packet and do not belong in the citation. The citation is 012, NC, dollars, and rows.

Awarding agency 012

Code 012 is the Department of Agriculture in this extract. FNS, FSA, NRCS, Forest Service, and other USDA awarding offices can roll up under that parent. This packet does not split them. The overlay /states/nc/agencies/012/ is the table view of the same pair.

Readers who want USDA awards without a North Carolina constraint should open the agency 012 hub. Stretching $16,385,691,989.32 into a national USDA total would drop the state filter.

North Carolina as place of performance

North Carolina is state code NC. Place of performance can follow work in-state, a recipient address, or a reporting convention. Awards coded to Virginia, South Carolina, Tennessee, or Georgia stay outside this $16,385,691,989.32 sum even when farms and forests cross those lines. The join does not reconstruct those landscapes.

Statewide North Carolina federal spending is the parent geography. USDA is one awarding agency inside it. Defense’s high-count North Carolina cell is a different filter. This page keeps 012 and NC only.

Reading 68,545 awards under $16.39 billion

Mean obligation of about $239,050 ($16,385,691,989.32 ÷ 68,545) is a concentration statistic for a high-count book. Nutrition or farm-program actions, if present, can produce many modest rows; a few large conservation or facility awards can pull the mean up. This page has no median and no program split. 68,545 is an award-record count, not 68,545 farms.

Net obligations can include de-obligations. The average is not a typical crop payment or a typical school-meal invoice.

What the USDA–North Carolina pair is not

Sharing a state with USDA does not mean North Carolina campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. The page does not rank North Carolina agriculture against other states. It reports one USAspending join.

How to read the North Carolina–USDA numbers

North Carolina USDA ($16,385,691,989.32, 68,545 awards) sits beside North Carolina Defense in the tie index. Beside is not plus. Agency 012 is Agriculture; 097 is Defense. Tobacco, poultry, and hog commentary is commodity color this packet does not support. Stick to the row count and the dollar sum. Sixty-eight thousand five hundred forty-five rows is a high-count nutrition-or-farm-shaped book if one is guessing. Guessing remains guessing. FNS, FSA, NRCS, and Forest Service can all hide under 012. The $16,385,691,989.32 total does not name them.

Virginia, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia bound North Carolina. Coastal plain and mountain agriculture ignore those bounds. Awards tagged those neighbors stay out. Raleigh, Charlotte, and the rest of the state share NC inside this cell.
