Farmer political money in the 2012 election cycle

Farmer meeting the 2012 election cycle

2012 is a presidential federal cycle on the FEC calendar. Intersecting the Farmer occupation grouping with that year produces $7,229,454, 9,950 lines, and 4,583 donor keys. Those three figures are the join. The occupation hub still holds $66,637,048 across all cycles in the aggregate. This page does not restate that hub without the year filter.

About $1,577 per donor ($7,229,454 ÷ 4,583) and about $727 per contribution ($7,229,454 ÷ 9,950) describe this string in 2012. Lines per donor average about 2.2 (9,950 ÷ 4,583). Those ratios are arithmetic on the packet, not typical gifts and not a unique-person audit. Repeat givers raise the line count.

The 2012 election-cycle hub places Farmer beside other occupation keys that year. Neither that hub nor this tie converts $7,229,454 into a civic-engagement score. Named employers who share a workplace with people in this cell sit in industry rows if the legal name was used instead of the occupation word.

10.8% of the Farmer all-cycle grouping

10.8% is $7,229,454 divided by $66,637,048. The leftover $59,407,594 sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. A 10.8% year share is a piece of this grouping’s recorded history, not a ranked list of peak years — other years’ amounts are not in this packet except as that residual.

Presidential solicitation volume can lift itemized counts. 9,950 lines still describe only receipts tagged Farmer in 2012. The packet does not publish committee names inside the cell; those live on the occupation and cycle overlays. Do not treat 10.8% as proof that 2012 was this occupation’s largest year in every dataset.

Farmer is typed text, not a USDA farm count

FARMER is filer-entered occupation text. FEC.gov does not match it to FSA farm numbers or acreage. RANCHER, GROWER, and AGRICULTURE are neighboring strings if indexed. A farm LLC used as employer sits in an industry key.

Commodity, livestock, and hobby-farm filers who typed Farmer can share the cell. This page does not recode crop type or farm size. The Farmer string is the filter, not a census of principal operators.

What Farmer money in this cycle is not

The cell is not a farm-bureau PAC and not a crop-insurance roll. Independent expenditures about farm bills are other FEC objects. USDA and other farm-program awards are USAspending objects.

This join does not claim that Farmer-coded gifts funded federal farm awards. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Motive is outside the packet. Keep Farmer and the cycle year in any citation.

Pages that keep Farmer and 2012 apart

The Farmer occupation page holds $66,637,048 and other years. The 2012 election-cycle page holds that year’s occupation list. All occupations ranks neighboring job strings. All FEC ties lists other occupation–cycle pages so this cell is not mistaken for an industry–PAC join.

Keep both sides of the name — Farmer and 2012 — whenever $7,229,454 is quoted. Cite 9,950 contributions, 4,583 donors, 10.8% of $66,637,048, and FEC.gov. Do not convert 4,583 keys into licensed or enrolled people. Do not fold USAspending into the cell.

How to cite Farmer × 2012

A complete claim names Farmer and 2012, then $7,229,454, 9,950 contributions, 4,583 donors, and 10.8% of $66,637,048, source FEC.gov. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Unitemized gifts stay omitted. Independent expenditures stay omitted. Federal awards that mention a similar profession stay omitted.

The 4,583-donor count is the net of filing choices in 2012: people who typed Farmer increased the cell; people who typed a firm name or a neighboring title reduced it. $7,229,454 and the 10.8% share travel with that net. They do not travel with a licensing board, a union roster, or a USAspending file. Quote the occupation hub for $66,637,048 and other cycles.

2012 remains a presidential federal cycle. That calendar fact does not add dollars. The join stops at itemized individual receipts tagged Farmer in 2012: $7,229,454 on 9,950 lines from 4,583 donors. About $727 per line and $1,577 per donor are means, not typical gifts. Repeat filers can sit in the 9,950 without raising unique people above 4,583.

Committee-level rows inside the Farmer cell are on the occupation and cycle tables, not restated here. Quote both sides of the join so a neighboring title string is not treated as this URL.

Questions

How much did Farmer-tagged donors give in 2012?

The join records $7,229,454 in itemized individual contributions for Farmer in 2012, from 9,950 contributions and 4,583 donors. The grouping’s all-cycle total is $66,637,048.

What share of the Farmer grouping is 2012?

10.8%: $7,229,454 of $66,637,048. Other years’ amounts are not listed in this packet except as the leftover $59,407,594 on the occupation hub. A year share is not a ranking of peak cycles.

Does this include people who listed a company instead of Farmer?

Usually not. Named firms are other industry keys. Neighboring titles are other occupation keys. This cell is the grouped Farmer string in 2012. Mixing keys would blur the 4,583-donor count.

Do Farmer donations fund federal awards?

No. FEC individual contributions and USAspending obligations are different datasets. This tie reports only itemized individual receipts tagged Farmer in 2012: $7,229,454 across 9,950 contributions from 4,583 donors.
