Emergency Commodity Assistance Program federal funding in Kansas

A producer-row join, not a single Kansas disaster appropriation

This tie crosses CFDA 10.121, EMERGENCY COMMODITY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, with Kansas place of performance. Ninety-three thousand six hundred sixty-one awards totaling $715,078,876.89 is the signature of many small assistance rows rather than one formula grant to a state agency. The packet still does not name commodities, counties, or producers. Treat the pair as an obligation rollup on tagged awards, not a crop-loss survey and not a ranking of Kansas agriculture against other states.

Other USDA listings — crop insurance indemnities, conservation, or different disaster codes — sit outside $715,078,876.89 unless they also carry 10.121. Supplemental Disaster Relief (a different CFDA) is a sibling join when it appears for Kansas, not a component of this total. Correlation between this obligation sum and a drought year or a harvest is not causation; this packet has no year and no weather table.

93,661 awards and a modest dollars-per-row average

If $715,078,876.89 were spread evenly across 93,661 awards, the mechanical mean would be about $7,635 per row. That average is arithmetic on the packet, not a published payment rate, and the distribution can be skewed. Award count is a row count of assistance awards, which in farm programs often tracks producer applications or payment lines. It is not a farm census, not a count of Kansas counties, and not a count of bushels.

High row counts make the overlay a search problem rather than a scan. Sort by amount to see whether a few large lines sit among many modest ones — the packet itself has no size band. Empty recipient-name cells can appear on producer-level files; that is a USAspending display issue, not a zero-dollar result. This page will not invent a producer directory. The $715,078,876.89 total is still the Kansas × 10.121 obligation join, nothing more.

Obligations on 10.121 are not commodity checks already cashed

USAspending obligations are commitments. Farm-program payments often post as obligations close to payment, but this extract still stores the obligation metric, not an outlay metric. The $715,078,876.89 headline should not be pasted into a story as “Kansas received” cash without that caveat. Deobligations and corrections exist in USDA files; they are not itemized here.

No fiscal year is in the facts. Readers matching the total to a Farm Service Agency announcement should check program name, CFDA number, and whether the announcement is nationwide or Kansas-only. SpendingVault’s join is Kansas place of performance × 10.121 only. The $715,078,876.89 figure should not be pasted beside a different USDA disaster code as if they were the same listing. Emergency Commodity Assistance is CFDA 10.121; Supplemental Disaster Relief is CFDA 10.988; crop insurance and conservation sit elsewhere. This page reports the 10.121 × Kansas pair as stored: $715,078,876.89 on 93,661 awards.

What the Kansas emergency-commodity table omits

The extract does not list crops, acres, or eligibility rules. It does not say how many unique producers sit behind 93,661 rows — repeat applications can inflate award count. Facts remain $715,078,876.89, 93,661 awards, CFDA 10.121, and Kansas. This page will not convert those facts into a county league table.

Kansas federal spending and Kansas programs place 10.121 among other state listings. CFDA 10.121 is the national program page. All spending ties holds other CFDA × state pairs, including the same program in other farm states, each with its own obligation total. Those pages are not a ranking of which state “won.”

Where to open the Kansas 10.121 rows

The overlay for Emergency Commodity Assistance Program in Kansas is the table behind $715,078,876.89 and 93,661 awards. CFDA 10.121 is the catalog line. Kansas federal spending and Kansas programs give state context. All spending ties indexes other program-by-state joins on the same commitment metric. The $715,078,876.89 figure is the tagged pair only.

Questions

How much Emergency Commodity Assistance is obligated in Kansas?

USAspending.gov shows $715,078,876.89 in obligations for CFDA 10.121 with Kansas as place of performance, across 93,661 awards. The sum is a commitment total, not outlays and not Kansas’s full USDA ledger. Other farm listings are outside this join unless they also carry 10.121.

Why does Kansas 10.121 have tens of thousands of awards?

Emergency commodity assistance often posts as many producer-level assistance rows rather than one state grant. The extract lists 93,661 awards totaling $715,078,876.89. Award count is not a farm census and may include repeat lines. The packet does not name producers or commodities.

Is this the same as Kansas disaster crop payments?

Not automatically. This page is CFDA 10.121 only. Other USDA disaster listings use different CFDA numbers and have their own state joins. Those dollars are not inside $715,078,876.89 unless the award also carries 10.121. The packet has no crop or weather table.

Are the $715 million already paid to Kansas producers?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $715,078,876.89 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault's extract. Payment dates, offsets, and remaining balances are not published in this packet.
