Unique Donors

Contributors who listed FARMER on federal itemized receipts account for $5,737,731 in the 2014 election cycle, according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. That slice is 6,029 contributions from 2,009 donors. The all-cycle FARMER total is $103,865,915. Cycle 2014 is 5.5% of that parent book. The 2012 sibling join showed $7,102,501 from 2,427 donors and 8,023 lines. This file is the midterm cut. FARMER remains occupation-style text, not a USDA count and not a commodity PAC.

Key figures

  • FARMER in 2014 totals $5,737,731 from 2,009 donors and 6,029 contributions.
  • The all-cycle FARMER total is $103,865,915; 2014 is 5.5% of that book.
  • This midterm cut is separate from the 2012 FARMER join.
  • The label is occupation-style FEC text, not a USDA census.
  • Source: FEC.gov via LobbyVault.

Still diffuse, slightly smaller than the 2012 cut

Two thousand nine donors produced 6,029 itemized lines totaling $5.74 million in 2014. That is on the order of 3.0 lines per donor, near the 2012 ratio of about 3.3, on a smaller roster and a smaller dollar total. This page does not treat the step-down as a farm-income finding. It reports the 2014 packet fields.

Five point five percent of $103,865,915 is a thin cycle share of a large occupation book. The Farmer parent page holds the all-cycle roll-up so 2012 and 2014 are not mistaken for the whole string.

RANCHER, GROWER, and farm LLC names remain other keys. The Farmer 2014 overlay lists the 2,009 disclosed contributors in this string.

2014 as a midterm FEC window

FEC cycle 2014 is the two-year federal clock labeled 2014. This join does not import a farm-bill vote calendar. The 2014 election cycle hub shows other occupation words in the same window, including DENTIST and CPA.

Party share is not in the packet.
