$635,302 in itemized individual contributions is the 2010-cycle join for the employer/occupation grouping Farming. FEC.gov aggregates count 925 contributions from 399 donors. The same string totals $14,879,078 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 4.3% of the lifetime bucket β a self-reported label meeting a two-year window, not an agriculture NAICS total and not a farm-bureau PAC.
Key figures
- Farming Γ 2010 is $635,302 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 925 contributions from 399 donors.
- 2010 is about 4.3% of the groupingβs $14,879,078 all-cycle total.
- The label is self-reported form text, not an agriculture NAICS total and not a farm-bureau PAC.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
Farming as stored text, 2010 as cycle
Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both β Farming and 2010 β sum to $635,302. 925 itemized contributions and 399 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. 2010 is a midterm even-year window; that fact describes the FEC calendar, not which contests received the money.
Neither the Farming hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Farming is stored form text, not a verified employer file. 399 donors and 925 lines in 2010 matched that word. People who typed a crop, a ranch name, or a farm LLC instead of Farming sit in other buckets. FARMER, AGRICULTURE, RANCHER, and FARM are other keys. This page is the exact grouped string Farming as stored.
4.3% of the Farming roll
The groupingβs stored total across cycles is $14,879,078. The 2010 slice of $635,302 is about 4.3% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 95.7%. Treating 2010 as the Farming FEC story would ignore that remainder. The share is a scale check, not a peak-year ranking and not proof of a coordinated program.
Treat $14,879,078 as the denominator for the 4.3% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, not assets under management, 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 $14,879,078. Federal awards in other databases remain a different dataset; sharing a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants.

Questions
- How much did Farming donors give in 2010?
- FEC.gov aggregates show $635,302 in itemized individual contributions for the Farming grouping in the 2010 cycle, across 925 contributions and 399 donors. That sum is not a PAC total, not an independent-expenditure total, and not the $14,879,078 all-cycle figure on the industry hub. Unitemized gifts sit outside this cell.
- What share of Farming FEC money is 2010?
- The groupingβs all-cycle total is $14,879,078. The 2010 cell of $635,302 is about 4.3% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 95.7% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Farming hub holds other cycles; the 2010 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
- Does this include only current Farming employees or licensees?
- No. The bucket is the self-reported string Farming. The FEC does not verify licenses or current jobs. Neighboring spellings and titles sit in other groupings unless they were stored as this exact key. This join reports the string match for 2010 only, totaling $635,302 from 399 donors on 925 contribution lines.
- Where is the overlay for the Farming 2010 join?
- Open Farming 2010 for the cycle overlay, Farming 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.
