Farmer political contributions from Michigan

Farmer and Michigan as an agricultural occupation-state join

Occupation FARMER and donor state MI produce $2,685,518, 7,252 contributions, and 689 donors. The occupation hub is $66,637,048, 189,146 contributions, and 14,343 donors. Dollar, contribution, and donor shares cluster within a few points (4.0%, 3.8%, 4.8%). Michigan tracks the national Farmer mix rather than concentrating one of the three measures. Michigan Farmer donor share sits above the dollar share on a large national farm title.

Farmer is a one-word agricultural title as typed. Nearby strings — RANCHER, AGRICULTURE, FARM OWNER, and GROWER — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $2,685,518 or $66,637,048. FARMER as a national label is donor-heavy relative to many officer titles in this harvest.

689 Michigan donors produced 7,252 contributions, about 10.5 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 13.2 rows per donor nationally (189,146 contributions from 14,343 donors). Mean dollars per donor in this Michigan cell are about $3,898, versus about $4,646 across the occupation. Those ratios are arithmetic on the six packet numbers, not a gift-size ranking of influence.

FARMER as a filer-typed producer string

FARMER is filer-entered. The FEC file does not verify farm ownership, a Michigan producer license, or acreage. The national grouping is 14,343 donors, 189,146 contributions, and $66,637,048.

189,146 contributions from 14,343 donors shows repeat itemization nationwide. Michigan’s 7,252 contributions from 689 donors is the MI-coded piece. This page does not split those rows by cycle, employer, or recipient committee. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Michigan.

Six hundred eighty-nine Michigan Farmer donors

689 Michigan donors produced 7,252 contributions totaling $2,685,518. Donor state MI is the address on the record, not proof of a Michigan professional license, and not a limit to Michigan candidates. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee.

The Michigan campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to MI. This join is only FARMER. Subtract $2,685,518 from $66,637,048 and $63,951,530 remains coded Farmer in every other state combined (181,894 contributions, 13,654 donors). That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties.

This page does not measure farmer output, does not rank firms, and does not claim that Farmer-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. Not an MDA farm-registration extract, not a USDA operator census, and not a commodity-group roster.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Itemized individual contributions only. Firm names, license numbers, and employer strings are not in these six numbers. Donor state MI is not recipient geography.

Farm titles that stay unmerged

A unique-donor count is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total can hide that skew. Keeping $2,685,518, 7,252 contributions, and 689 donors on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Michigan dollars, or only the Farmer national total, drops a key.

Farmer donations holds the $66,637,048 national occupation total. Michigan 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. RANCHER, AGRICULTURE, FARM OWNER, is a different occupation string if a filer used it.

This relationship is not a forecast and not a ranking of influence. Occupation does not cause contributions, and donor state does not cause recipient geography. Public records, two fields, one intersection. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates; occupation labels are filer-entered. FARMER as a national label is donor-heavy relative to many officer titles in this harvest.
