EQIP environmental quality incentives in Mississippi

What the EQIP–Mississippi join reports

CFDA 10.912 is titled ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY INCENTIVES PROGRAM. Crossed with Mississippi place of performance, the obligation sum is $268,812,549.13 on 7,944 awards. The national EQIP hub includes other states. Mississippi’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this intersection is reported here. $268,812,549.13 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of acres treated.

Conservation Stewardship Program, Agricultural Conservation Easement Program, and other NRCS catalogs use different CFDA numbers. Mixing them into $268,812,549.13 would invent a broader conservation total than this cell contains. Packet facts are $268,812,549.13, 7,944 awards, MS, and 10.912. Correlation is not causation.

Reading 7,944 awards under Mississippi EQIP

7,944 awards against $268,812,549.13 yield a simple mean near $33,838. The facts do not publish a median, a range, or unique recipients. A high award count is typical of producer-level conservation contracts, but 7,944 is still a record count in an aggregate, not 7,944 farms and not 7,944 completed practices.

Many small instruments can share one producer across modifications. Unique recipient names are unpublished and are not invented here. Downward modifications, if they exist in the raw file, are already netted into the total supplied in the facts. Treat the mean as arithmetic, not as a typical contract size without a distribution.

Mississippi geography on the 10.912 tag

MS is the place-of-performance code. Contracts can post to a county FSA office or a producer address. Awards coded to Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, or Alabama stay outside $268,812,549.13 even when a farm straddles a state line. The facts do not split the 7,944 awards by county.

Mississippi federal spending is the all-program parent. 10.912 is one row on Mississippi programs. $268.8 million is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Environmental Quality Incentives Program in Mississippi for the filtered table, CFDA 10.912 for the catalog without a Mississippi filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $268,812,549.13.

What the join does not prove about EQIP in Mississippi

A large 10.912 total tagged to Mississippi does not measure soil-health outcomes, water-quality change, or practice completion. It does not equal invoices paid to producers. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. The headline remains $268,812,549.13 on 7,944 awards for Environmental Quality Incentives Program in Mississippi.

Keep both sides of the join: Environmental Quality Incentives Program and Mississippi, obligations only. Do not annualize $268,812,549.13 without a year field—this packet publishes none. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a conservation-outcome story.

It does not publish fiscal year, unique recipients, acres treated, or outlays. Practice types and producer names are not in the facts and are not invented here.
