Emergency Conservation Program

$564.2M on a 20,669-row conservation file

USAspending.gov attaches $564.2M in obligations to assistance awards tagged 10.054. SpendingVault reprints that commitment total. Emergency conservation, as named on the listing, is often associated with restoring farmland after natural disasters; this extract still does not name the disasters, practices, or acres. The $564.2M is not a crop-insurance indemnity total and not an outlay file.

No fiscal year is in the packet. High row counts on farm programs frequently include many relatively small awards rather than a few cooperative agreements, but the packet has no size distribution. This page will not invent a typical payment. Amount-sort on the 20,669-row hub is the only way in this workflow to see whether a tail of large awards exists inside the $564.2M.

Because 20,669 is a large assistance file, scanning every line is impractical. Filters on the program page — location, recipient name, amount — do the work this rollup cannot. The four-field summary exists to state the catalog total, not to replace the table.

Awards without a recipient census in the packet

The extract records 20,669 awards and does not supply a recipient count. Missing recipientCount is not a claim that awards have no recipients. It means this rollup did not include a distinct-identifier total. Do not treat 20,669 as a headcount of producers; award rows can include modifications, and one producer can hold more than one award.

Readers who need a unique-entity list should use the program hub’s recipient column rather than this guide. If that column is populated on individual rows, it is still not the same as a packet-level recipientCount fact. This page will not impute 20,669 unique farms. The only award statistic in the packet remains the row count of 20,669.

Questions

How much is obligated under the Emergency Conservation Program?
