Department of Agriculture federal obligations in Ohio

A high-count Agriculture book in Ohio

This page isolates awarding agency 012 and Ohio (OH) place of performance. The $16,323,600,619.73 total is the USAspending aggregate for that pair. Defense in Ohio uses a different agency code. Mixing the two without labeling filters would confuse departments. This cell is only 012 plus OH.

One hundred sixty-seven thousand eight hundred eighty-nine awards is an unusually large row count for a USDA–state join in this batch. High counts often reflect many farm-program or nutrition-related actions. The packet does not classify those rows. Inferring corn, soy, or school meals from the state tag would add programs the facts do not list.

Ohio’s 167,889 USDA records under $16,323,600,619.73 are the high-count Agriculture book in this slice, which is why the mean falls near $97,229. High-count overstates unique farms if many actions attach to one recipient. The packet has no unique-recipient field. 167,889 remains a row census for 012 and OH.

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/oh/agencies/012/ is the table view of the same pair.

Readers who want USDA awards without an Ohio constraint should open the agency 012 hub. Stretching $16,323,600,619.73 into a national USDA total would drop the state filter.

Ohio as place of performance

Ohio is state code OH. Place of performance can follow work in-state, a recipient address, or a reporting convention. Awards coded to Pennsylvania, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, or West Virginia stay outside this $16,323,600,619.73 sum even when farms cross those lines. The join does not reconstruct those landscapes.

Statewide Ohio federal spending is the parent geography. USDA is one awarding agency inside it. Defense’s Ohio cell is a different filter. This page keeps 012 and OH only.

Reading 167,889 awards under $16.32 billion

Mean obligation of about $97,229 ($16,323,600,619.73 ÷ 167,889) is a lower average than several other USDA–state cells with fewer rows, because the denominator here is large. That is table geometry, not a finding that Ohio farms receive “less.” The mean is not a typical crop payment. 167,889 is an award-record count, not 167,889 farms.

Net obligations can include de-obligations. The average is not a typical school-meal invoice or a typical conservation-contract value.

What the USDA–Ohio pair is not

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

How to read the Ohio–USDA numbers

Ohio USDA ($16,323,600,619.73, 167,889 awards) is the highest-count Agriculture book in this slice. Highest-count pulls the mean down to about $97,229. That is still not a typical crop check. It is dollars divided by a very large row census that likely includes many small farm or nutrition actions. One hundred sixty-seven thousand eight hundred eighty-nine records will overstate unique farms if multiple actions attach to one recipient. The packet has no unique-recipient count. Ohio Defense under 097 is a different department; do not blend 012 and 097.

Pennsylvania, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, and West Virginia surround Ohio. Lake Erie is not a state code. Awards tagged those neighbors stay out of $16,323,600,619.73. Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, and farm counties share OH.
