Environmental Quality Incentives awarded by USDA

Environmental Quality Incentives overlapping USDA — CFDA 10.912

The pair is Environmental Quality Incentives Program × Department of Agriculture. $7,272,945,768.04 is the obligation aggregate for rows that carry both CFDA 10.912 and awarding-agency 012. The join obligation $7,272,945,768.04 equals the CFDA program total of $7,272,945,768.04 in this extract, so this packet does not publish a leftover Environmental Quality Incentives slice at a second awarding agency. Correlation is not causation: the join does not prove that Department of Agriculture caused Environmental Quality Incentives activity, only that USAspending coded the two keys together. It is not a county farm ranking or a named producer roster.

SpendingVault indexes the cell from USAspending.gov. The catalog title on the program side is ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY INCENTIVES PROGRAM. The agency name on the awarding side is Department of Agriculture. Neither label is a contractor, a place of performance, or a fiscal-year stamp — this packet publishes no fiscal year. Cite $7,272,945,768.04 as obligations on the Environmental Quality Incentives–USDA pair.

CFDA 10.912 as the Environmental Quality Incentives side

CFDA 10.912 is the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance identifier for Environmental Quality Incentives Program. The program-wide obligation total in this extract is $7,272,945,768.04. That figure is a program rollup, not a second headline for the Department of Agriculture slice unless the two amounts match. Do not treat $7,272,945,768.04 as cash Treasury already sent. Producer names, acres treated, and practice codes are unpublished on this packet.

Open CFDA 10.912 at /programs/10.912/ for the program hub. That page is not this join: it can include other awarding agencies if the extract lists them, and it is still obligations rather than outlays. This ties page stays on CFDA 10.912 awarded by agency 012 only.

Agency 012, Department of Agriculture

Department of Agriculture is awarding-agency 012 on USAspending assistance rows. The agency hub Department of Agriculture at /agencies/012/ rolls up every program that agency awards in the index, not only Environmental Quality Incentives. Reading $7,272,945,768.04 as Department of Agriculture’s entire book would over-read this cell. The join is one CFDA inside one agency, not a department budget justification.

155,247 awards as a CFDA table, not a farm census

The extract lists 155,247 awards on the Environmental Quality Incentives × Department of Agriculture table. That is an award-record count, not a census of farms. Unique recipients are unpublished. Modifications can add rows without naming a new organization. Dividing $7,272,945,768.04 by 155,247 is not published here as a typical award size, because the packet does not say the rows are comparable.

Acreage rankings this incentives–USDA join cannot support

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $7,272,945,768.04 is the former. Citing it as cash already cleared on Environmental Quality Incentives over-reads the field. The join cannot say that Department of Agriculture specialized in Environmental Quality Incentives because of a policy success metric this packet omits. Keep $7,272,945,768.04 labeled as Environmental Quality Incentives Program obligations awarded by Department of Agriculture.

Budget justifications, program evaluations, and press releases answer other questions. They are not the source of this cell. If a chart mixes a different CFDA with Department of Agriculture or a different awarding agency with Environmental Quality Incentives Program, the chart has left this join. Producer names, acres treated, and practice codes are unpublished on this packet.
