Every expenditure transaction the Department of Agriculture recorded in FY2025 — organized by what the money bought, who received it, and which fund it drew from.
Pass-through money is forwarded to counties, food banks, and institutions; operational money buys goods and services. Zero-based review asks a different question of each.

Dollars show where the money is. Transactions and payee counts show where the decisions are — fragmentation an agency-by-agency budget never reveals.
The fifteen largest recipients of aid and transfer dollars under the current fund view. Each line is a policy relationship, not a procurement.
Section 44 of the FY2025-26 Appropriations Act already organizes the Department into named program areas — the natural skeleton for mission-mapping. Personnel in deep pine; operating and aid in wheat. (The fund lens does not apply here: this is the plan, not the spending.)
The fifty largest payees under the current fund view. Payments to other public entities are tagged.

Source one: the Comptroller General’s monthly expenditure transparency files, twelve months of FY2025 — public, free, no records request required. Source two: H.4025, the FY2025-26 General Appropriations Act, Section 44. Every figure on this page traces to one of the two.
Salaries and payroll do not appear in the transaction files; roughly $20.7M of appropriated personnel spending is visible only in the budget section. Categories were assigned by a written, deterministic rule set — the same taxonomy as the statewide Ledger — and about 2.6% of dollars remain unclassified. Actuals are FY2025; the appropriation shown is the adjacent budget year.
The data shows what was bought, not which program it served. Connecting each transaction to a program area requires the Department’s internal cost-center structure — the natural next step for this work.
