Bases are separate columns and are never summed into one figure.
Agriculture (USDA) discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Agriculture (USDA)'s discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
Funds NRCS conservation technical assistance, helping private landowners, conservation districts, and Tribes plan and apply practices that reduce erosion and protect soil, water, air, and wildlife habitat.
Extracted from Natural Resources Conservation Service, p. 20. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased.
