Where the Department's dollars actually go.
The whole Department of Agriculture (USAspending toptier agency 012) as recorded in the public spending feed: budgetary resources and obligations by fiscal year, and the largest contract awards. Most USDA money flows as SNAP benefit payments and as grants (Child Nutrition, rural development) — the contracts table below is the procurement slice, a small fraction of what USDA obligates.
Data currency & scale
Agency budgetary resources are gross and mandatory-dominated (SNAP/crop insurance/CCC), so they run far above the discretionary topline. USDA publishes award detail without a 90-day OPSEC withholding; normal USAspending reporting lag applies, so the contracts table uses the latest fully-loaded fiscal year.

Obligations over time
Total agency obligations by fiscal year (benefit payments, grants, and contracts combined). The current fiscal year is partial.
Largest contract awards
Ranked by total obligated amount on the award. Contracts are the procurement slice only — SNAP benefits and grants are not shown here. For multiyear/IDIQ vehicles this accumulates across option years — a measure of award size, not single-year spend.
