$5,574,837 in itemized individual contributions is the 2010-cycle join for the occupation grouping Farmer. FEC.gov aggregates count 6,490 contributions from 2,280 donors. The same string totals $103,865,915 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 5.4% of the lifetime bucket — a self-reported title meeting a two-year window, not a farm-bill PAC and not an agriculture NAICS total.
Key figures
- Farmer × 2010 is $5,574,837 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 6,490 contributions from 2,280 donors.
- 2010 is about 5.4% of the grouping’s $103,865,915 all-cycle total.
- The label is filer-entered form text, not a farm-bill PAC and not an agriculture NAICS total.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
Farmer as stored text, 2010 as cycle
Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Farmer and 2010 — sum to $5,574,837. 6,490 itemized contributions and 2,280 unique donors produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables.
Neither the Farmer hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Farmer is a self-reported title, not a USDA operator census and not a Farm Bureau membership roll. 2,280 donors and 6,490 lines in 2010 matched that word. FARM, FARMING, FARMER/RANCHER, RANCHER, and named agribusiness employers sit in other keys. This page is the stored string FARMER.
LobbyVault keeps this two-key page so a reader can open Farmer 2010 without treating the industry hub as a cycle total or the 2010 cycle hub as an employer total. The overlay at the Farmer 2010 path holds the itemized rows for this cell. This prose publishes the packet snapshot: $5,574,837, 6,490 contributions, 2,280 donors, and 5.4% of $103,865,915.
5.4% of the Farmer roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $103,865,915. The 2010 slice of $5,574,837 is about 5.4% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 94.6% ($98,291,078). Treating 2010 as the Farmer FEC story would ignore that remainder.
Treat $103,865,915 as the denominator for the 5.4% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2010 from being folded silently into $103,865,915.
A 5.4% cell can sit next to larger or smaller even-year windows on the same Farmer hub. This packet does not publish those other cycle dollars, so they are not cited here. Open Farmer to drop the year filter. Open the 2010 election cycle to drop the employer filter.

Questions
- How much did Farmer donors give in 2010?
- FEC.gov aggregates show $5,574,837 in itemized individual contributions for the Farmer grouping in the 2010 cycle, across 6,490 contributions and 2,280 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $103,865,915 all-cycle figure.
- What share of Farmer FEC money is 2010?
- The grouping’s all-cycle total is $103,865,915. The 2010 cell of $5,574,837 is about 5.4% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 94.6% ($98,291,078) on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Farmer hub holds other cycles; the 2010 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
- Does this include only licensed or currently employed Farmer donors?
- No. The bucket is the self-reported string FARMER. The FEC does not verify licenses or current jobs. Related phrases may sit in other groupings. This join reports the string match for 2010 only, totaling $5,574,837 from 2,280 donors.
- Where is the overlay for the Farmer 2010 join?
- Open Farmer 2010 for the cycle overlay, Farmer for the grouping hub, and the 2010 election cycle for the year without this employer filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows.
