Emergency Commodity Assistance Program (CFDA 10.121) in Iowa

More than 110,000 commodity awards in Iowa

CFDA 10.121 is titled Emergency Commodity Assistance Program. Iowa is the place-of-performance state. $829,033,050.26 sums obligations on records that carry both keys. One hundred ten thousand three hundred forty-seven awards is a producer-file thickness: many small instruments rather than a handful of cooperative agreements. The packet does not name crops, counties, or farm operations. The join is a two-key filter, not a claim about who needed aid.

The Iowa hub totals every program. The national 10.121 hub totals every state. This tie is the overlap. NEW ERA (10.758) is a different USDA energy line. Mixing rural-energy awards into $829,033,050.26 would misstate commodity assistance.

What emergency commodity assistance records

The catalog title describes emergency commodity assistance, a USDA farm program as named. It is not crop insurance indemnities under a different code, not conservation easements, and not High Cost telecommunications support. Packet facts are the obligation total, 110,347 awards, state IA, and CFDA 10.121. No acreage or commodity-split table is included.

Place of performance tagged Iowa can cover a statewide FSA process that still lands as many award records. The 110,347 count is an award-record count, not a census of Iowa farms, though the two can be related in ways this packet does not measure.

Iowa as the geography key

Iowa is USAspending state code IA. Awards coded to Illinois, Minnesota, or Nebraska stay on other 10.121 ties. $829,033,050.26 is not Iowa’s entire USDA footprint and is not the state’s cash-receipts total. The packet has no county production map.

Statewide Iowa federal spending is the parent. CFDA 10.121 is one USDA line. Readers comparing commodity assistance with High Cost Universal Service in Iowa should keep 10.121 and 32.002 on separate pages.

Why the mean is about $7,513

Average obligation is about $7,513 ($829,033,050.26 ÷ 110,347). That four-digit mean is an outlier in this slice, where many cells average in the millions. A low mean flags many rows, not proof that Iowa producers received less support than a state with fewer, larger awards under a different CFDA. The mean is not a typical per-acre payment.

Net obligations can include adjustments. This page reports $829,033,050.26 as given. Treat 110,347 as award records in the aggregate. Obligations are not outlays.

What the Iowa–10.121 pair is not

A shared state tag does not mean Iowa selected these awards as competitive grants, and it does not mean commodity outlays equal $829,033,050.26. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation.

A 110,347-row overlay still has one CFDA key

Emergency Commodity Assistance Program in Iowa is the overlay for CFDA 10.121 inside state IA. One hundred ten thousand three hundred forty-seven awards summing to $829,033,050.26 will dominate any table that also lists Iowa’s 266-award High Cost cell. Volume is not a second catalog. Each row is still an assistance record tagged 10.121 with Iowa place of performance. Crop names, county FSA offices, and farm identifiers are not in the packet, so this page does not invent acres or bushels.

NEW ERA (10.758) is a different USDA energy line. Iowa programs is the CFDA index. The national 10.121 hub drops the Iowa filter. The about-$7,513 mean is an average of award records, not a per-acre payment and not a typical whole-farm check. A high row count can still miss farms that never appear in this CFDA. Obligations are not outlays. FEC donations do not fund commodity assistance on USAspending.
