Farmer political contributions from Iowa

Farmer and Iowa as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation FARMER and donor state IA produce $2,059,484, 7,810 contributions, and 626 donors. The occupation hub is $66,637,048, 189,146 contributions, and 14,343 donors. Iowa’s dollar share is about 3.1%; contribution share about 4.1% (7,810 of 189,146); donor share about 4.4% (626 of 14,343). Six hundred twenty-six Iowa donors are about 4.4% of 14,343 national donors; 7,810 contributions are about 4.1% of 189,146 national rows; dollars are about 3.1% of $66,637,048.

RANCHER, AGRICULTURE, and FARMER RETIRED, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Farmer total. Do not stack FARMER with RANCHER or AGRICULTURE into a single Iowa professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

626 Iowa donors produced 7,810 contributions, about 12.5 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 13.2 rows per donor nationally (189,146 contributions from 14,343 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Iowa cell is about $264, against about $352 nationwide. Iowa’s about 3.1% dollar share from 7,810 rows is a smaller dollar slice than Texas’s 10,001-row Farmer cell of the same occupation.

FARMER as an Iowa occupation string

FARMER is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify acreage, a commodity, or an FSA registration. The word on the form is the filter. The $66,637,048 national total is FARMER only. 14,343 donors produced 189,146 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 189,146 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Iowa (IA). One hundred eighty-nine thousand one hundred forty-six national contributions make FARMER a high-frequency bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state IA.

Iowa as the donor-state stamp

626 Iowa donors produced 7,810 contributions totaling $2,059,484. Donor state IA is the address on the record, not proof of a Iowa license, and not a limit to Iowa candidates. IA is the address on the itemized record, not proof of Iowa acreage, and not a map of which campaigns received the $2,059,484.

The Iowa campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to IA. This join is only FARMER. The Farmer occupation hub without Iowa still holds about 96.9% of the $66,637,048. Iowa’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to IA. FARMER is only this filter.

What the Farmer–Iowa join is not

This page does not count farms, add Texas Farmer dollars, or claim that Farmer-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. FARMER is not AGRICULTURE even when filers meant a farm job. This cell is not the Texas Farmer pair.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FARMER is not a USDA operator extract. Donor state IA is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Acreage and crop type are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Iowa Farmer filter

Subtract the Iowa dollars on this page from the national FARMER occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded FARMER in every other state combined. That remainder ($64,577,564) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. The occupation internal link holds the unlabeled-by-state total; the state internal link holds every occupation with this state code; the occupations index and the ties index place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count of 626 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count of 7,810 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $2,059,484 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Iowa dollars, or only the FARMER national total, drops a key. Six hundred twenty-six donors producing 7,810 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $2,059,484 headline.

Related tables

Farmer donations holds the $66,637,048 national occupation total. Iowa campaign finance holds the state’s itemized individual activity across occupations. All occupations and all FEC ties collect other occupation-state pairs from the same two fields. Texas has a separate Farmer occupation-state tie in this same slice; those 10,001 contributions are a different pair.
