Federal Spending Report — 2026-06-28

Federal Spending Brief: June 28, 2026

The Department of Agriculture obligated $491,000 across 13 awards on June 28, 2026, with a single direct payment to a Missouri-based firm accounting for more than 62 percent of the day's total spending.

Warren Trails LP received the largest award, a $306,000 direct payment for unspecified agricultural services in Missouri. The remaining $185,000 was distributed as grants across 12 separate awards, predominantly to individual recipients in Georgia, Maine, Florida, and Texas. The concentration of spending in Warren Trails LP—representing a single contractor receiving more than three-fifths of daily obligations—suggests a significant project or contract renewal with the federal agricultural agency.

Georgia emerged as the second-largest recipient state, securing $79,000 across six grant awards, while Maine received $58,000 through two grants. Florida and Texas combined for $38,000 in obligations. The geographic spread across five states indicates the Department of Agriculture's multi-regional focus for grant distribution on this date.

All activity on June 28 flowed through the Department of Agriculture, with no involvement from other federal agencies. The 12-to-1 split between grants and direct payments reflects the department's dual approach to funding—leveraging grants for smaller, distributed programs while channeling larger sums through direct contractor relationships.

The data reveals a notably uneven distribution pattern: one named contractor captured the majority of spending while a second entity, details redacted for privacy protection, received the remaining obligated funds across a higher number of smaller awards. This bifurcated structure—large single payment versus numerous smaller grants—is typical of agricultural spending that combines major infrastructure or service contracts with grassroots grant programs.

June 28, 2026 represented a modest spending day by federal standards, with $491,000 obligated across a limited number of awards and just two unique contractors. The concentration of activity within the Department of Agriculture and the dominance of the Missouri-based direct payment suggest focused, perhaps year-end or quarter-end allocation activity rather than broad-based federal spending.
