Farmer occupation money in the 2010 FEC cycle

Farmer as occupation, 2010 as cycle

Two keys define this page. One is the occupation string FARMER. The other is the 2010 federal election cycle. The match is $4,200,257, built from 6,185 contributions and 3,270 unique donors. Drop either key and the number changes. Six thousand-plus gifts from more than three thousand donors is a spread-out midterm cell, not a handful of large checks. Mean gift size is arithmetic. Hobby farms, retired operators, and household occupation users can all land in the same string.

Average contribution is about $679; average per donor is about $1,284. Those means are arithmetic on the 2010 cell only. The packet has no median, no party split, and no employer table. About 1.9 itemized rows per donor is a filing ratio, not a headcount of unique humans behind every spelling variant.

FARMER is a typed word, not a crop code

FARMER is a high-volume occupation string. RANCHER, GROWER, and AGRICULTURE, if used, sit in other hubs. The FEC does not verify acreage, commodity, or FSA enrollment. This cell is the one-word Farmer bucket matched to 2010.

$66,637,048 is every cycle combined for FARMER. $4,200,257 in 2010 is about 6.3% of that stack. Other windows hold about 93.7% ($62,436,791). A cycle cell at 6.3% is a chapter, not the occupation’s full FEC history. RANCHER, AGRICULTURE, and FARM OWNER are other occupation pages if stored separately. Combining them without naming each source total mixes keys.

3,270 donors and 6,185 gifts in 2010

3,270 unique donors against 6,185 contributions implies some repeat giving inside the 2010 window. Primaries, generals, and multiple committees all add rows. One person can appear more than once if addresses or names vary. Unitemized gifts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter $4,200,257.

A title on a form is not an employment verification. People using a household occupation, a retired title, or a short status word can all land in the same cell. LobbyVault does not recode FARMER into a NAICS industry or a licensing roster. Recipients of the campaign gifts live on the occupation hub and the 2010 cycle hub.

About 6.3% of a $66.6 million occupation stack

6.3% is $4,200,257 divided by $66,637,048. Reading only 2010 understates the parent occupation book. Reading only the parent hides that this cycle’s share is 6.3%. The leftover outside 2010 is $62,436,791. Those other-cycle dollars are not itemized on this relationship page.

Presidential-year and midterm windows are different FEC two-year clocks. This page cites cycle 2010 only. A later or earlier cell for the same occupation string is a different join even when the occupation total $66,637,048 is shared.

What a Farmer–2010 join cannot claim

Do not join these receipts to USAspending farm-program awards. Campaign itemizations and USDA obligations are separate public records. This packet has no CFDA or farm-bill identifier.

The page does not identify employers, does not convert occupation text into a corporate gift, and does not link FEC receipts to USAspending obligations. Campaign gifts and federal awards remain separate public records. Correlation between a job title and a cycle total is not causation. Cite $4,200,257, 6,185 contributions, and 3,270 donors for Farmer in 2010. Cite $66,637,048 for the all-cycle occupation grouping. Name FEC.gov.

Related Farmer and 2010 tables

Farmer donations is the occupation hub behind $66,637,048. The 2010 election cycle page is the cycle census across occupations. All occupations lists other strings. All FEC ties collects other occupation-cycle pairs from the same two fields. Live hubs override this snapshot. If a hub disagrees with $4,200,257, 6,185 gifts, or 3,270 donor IDs, the hub and FEC.gov control.

Keep the occupation string FARMER attached to $4,200,257 whenever the sentence also names cycle 2010. Keep 6,185 contributions and 3,270 donors in the same citation so readers can see whether Farmer in 2010 is a high-volume stack or a concentrated roster. The all-cycle occupation total $66,637,048 answers a different question: every window combined, not this two-year clock. Unitemized receipts, independent expenditures, and state-office campaigns sit outside this extract. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FEC.gov is the source.

Questions

How much did Farmer-labeled donors give in 2010?

The Farmer grouping’s 2010 cell is $4,200,257 in itemized individual contributions, from 6,185 contributions and 3,270 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not a PAC total and not the $66,637,048 all-cycle occupation total.

Does Farmer mean a USDA-registered producer?

No. This cell is the self-reported string FARMER matched to cycle 2010. RANCHER, AGRICULTURE, and FARM OWNER are other keys if stored separately. The FEC does not verify that the title matches a license or payroll. See the Farmer occupation hub for other cycles and the 2010 cycle hub for other strings.

What share of Farmer FEC money fell in 2010?

About 6.3%. $4,200,257 divided by $66,637,048 is the 2010 cell’s share of the lifetime occupation bucket. Other cycles hold about 93.7% ($62,436,791) on the occupation hub. See the Farmer occupation hub for other cycles and the 2010 cycle hub for other strings.

Do these donations fund farm-program awards?

No. These figures are FEC individual contribution aggregates. Federal awards are published by USAspending. This page does not claim that campaign gifts funded those awards. $4,200,257 is itemized receipts tagged FARMER in 2010, not an obligation total. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Unitemized gifts never enter this cell. FEC.gov is the source.
