USDA carried $477.3 bn in budget authority at end of Q3 FY2026

Paper: Government Spending Report
Day: 2026-08-22
What it shows: USDA budget authority remains largely unspent halfway through fiscal year.
The scene as painted: A vast warehouse with rows of unopened crates and pallets stretches into the distance, with a few figures in the background, busy at their desks or walking between the stacks, under soft, neutral lighting, with a muted color palette of grays and beiges, conveying a sense of quiet, unspent potential.
