Agriculture political money in the 2014 FEC cycle

Agriculture as grouping, 2014 as the cycle

This page exists because two FEC dimensions meet: employer/industry grouping Agriculture and even-year election cycle 2014. $255,981 is the intersection. $5,317,336 is the grouping’s harvested all-cycle total before the year filter. 322 is the 2014 line count. The 2014 donor count is 121 (121 harvested donors). LobbyVault does not convert those integers into a motive, a lobbying total, or a USAspending award.

322 lines from 121 donors is a mid-scale occupation-as-industry cell, not a handful of mega-gifts and not a flood of tiny receipts. Agriculture as stored text can mean a farm, a co-op, or a self-applied trade. FEC.gov does not recode it into a NAICS crop code.

322 receipts inside one midterm window

In 2014, receipts tagged AGRICULTURE sum to $255,981 on 322 itemized lines from 121 harvested donors. About $795 per receipt is $255,981 divided by 322. About $2,116 per harvested donor is $255,981 divided by 121. Lines per donor average about 2.7. FEC even-year cycles run through December 31 of the even year; 2014 names that two-year window, not a single November night.

The Agriculture string across every cycle on file

The parent grouping indexes $5,317,336 ($5.32 million rounded). 2014’s $255,981 is 4.8% of that parent. Other even-year cuts exist on other cycle hubs. This packet publishes one cycle integer for this page: $255,981. Do not invent a 2012 or 2016 total from these facts. The leftover $5,061,355 sits in other harvested years under the same Agriculture key.

4.8% is $255,981 divided by $5,317,336. Rounding to $255,981 and $5.32 million does not create extra facts. Use exact integers in a table. Use the rounded forms only as headlines of those same integers.

Do not print a 2014 share of all US politics from $255,981. The denominator for 4.8% is $5,317,336, the Agriculture grouping in this extract, not every itemized dollar on FEC.gov. A sentence that drops that denominator misstates the join.

Farm labels on FEC forms are not USDA awards

This join is not a claim that Agriculture bought an election in 2014. It is not a party split; this packet has none. It is not a unique-person census of a workforce. The harvest counts 121 donor keys in the 2014 slice, and one person can still appear across committees. It is not federal spending under USAspending.gov. Contributions do not fund awards on this page.

It is not a USDA farm-program recipient list, a crop-insurance book, or a commodity PAC. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $255,981. State-office campaigns never enter $255,981. Amendments can restate large transfers while most of the 322 small lines stay put. After quarterly filings, reread the Agriculture 2014 hub. If that hub and this snapshot disagree, FEC.gov controls.

Comparing Agriculture in 2014 to another industry requires that other industry’s cycle hub. This packet has one grouping and one cycle. A ranking of industries for 2014 is a different page — the 2014 election-cycle index — not a homemade sort of this file.

How to cite Agriculture × 2014

Citation template: employer/industry grouping Agriculture, election cycle 2014, $255,981 on 322 itemized individual contributions from 121 harvested donors, which is 4.8% of the grouping’s harvested $5,317,336 all-cycle total. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

A later bulk file can restate $255,981 without rewriting this paragraph. Treat the hubs as current and this JSON as a packet snapshot. Quote 2014 as an FEC even-year cycle, Agriculture as a filer-entered employer or occupation grouping, and 121 harvested donors as a harvested donor count on 322 lines. That is the whole join: Agriculture × 2014 = $255,981.

Keep the unit explicit. Agriculture is an employer/industry string. 2014 is an FEC two-year cycle. $255,981 is itemized individual contributions in that intersection. The harvested donor count is 121 harvested donors. 322 is the line count. $5,317,336 is the parent grouping. None of those fields is a vote total.
