Farmer political contributions from North Dakota

FARMER × North Dakota

The occupation hub for FARMER ($66,637,048) mixes every state. The North Dakota hub mixes every occupation. The intersection is $5,463,328 from 843 donors and 14,455 receipts. That is about 8% of occupation dollars, about 8% of 189,146 contributions, and about 6% of 14,343 donors. Dollar share and contribution share align; donor share is slightly lower.

Average itemized gift in the North Dakota join is about $378 ($5,463,328 / 14,455). Compared with Minnesota’s FARMER join on the same national denominator, North Dakota is a smaller dollar cell with a similar agricultural label. The two state pages are separate filters, not a ranking of farm states.

Fourteen thousand four hundred fifty-five North Dakota FARMER gifts are about 8% of 189,146 nationally, in line with the 8% dollar share of $66,637,048. Donor share is a little lower (843 of 14,343). The cell is proportional on activity and slightly thinner on people — a common-title pattern, not a concentration spike.

FARMER nationwide

Fourteen thousand three hundred forty-three donors used FARMER on itemized receipts totaling $66,637,048 across 189,146 gifts. The label is common and spread across many states. North Dakota’s $5,463,328 is one cut; the remainder ($66,637,048 minus $5,463,328) sits elsewhere.

Rancher, farm owner, and agriculture are not included. They appear as separate rows in the occupations index. This join does not build a custom farm-sector total.

Eight hundred forty-three North Dakota donors

Eight hundred forty-three North Dakota donors produced 14,455 FARMER-tagged contributions totaling $5,463,328. That is a broad donor base for a small state, consistent with a common occupation word rather than a two-person outlier. The North Dakota campaign-finance page shows how FARMER sits next to other ND occupations.

Mailing addresses and farm locations can differ. Contributor state is the FEC address field. Land in North Dakota with a receipt coded to another state will not appear in the $5,463,328.

State campaign filings in North Dakota, USDA payments, and this $5,463,328 are three systems. Do not add them. If the question is FEC individual contributions tagged FARMER with contributor state ND, this join is the answer. Broader farm-politics questions need more than two columns.

What the join does not measure

These dollars are federal individual contributions, not USDA payments and not North Dakota state campaign filings. The table does not show that commodity policy caused the gifts or that the money funded agriculture committees. Recipient identity is outside the two-column filter.

Occupation is un-audited text. Use the occupations index for agricultural variants and the ties index for FARMER in other states. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates; occupation labels are filer-entered.

A small-state cut of a large agricultural label

North Dakota FARMER at $5,463,328 from 843 donors and 14,455 gifts is about 8% of $66,637,048 nationally — the same denominator as Minnesota’s larger FARMER join ($7,447,377 from 1,033 donors). Eight percent of a mass agricultural title is a thick slice for ND’s population in ordinary speech and still a minority of the occupation. Most FARMER money and most of 14,343 donors sit elsewhere.

Average gift about $378 is close to Minnesota’s about $449 on the same string: two farm-state cells with modest itemized amounts and broad donor bases, not two-person outliers. Rancher remains excluded. Commodity identity remains absent from the occupation field.

Eight hundred forty-three North Dakota donors and 14,455 gifts totaling $5,463,328 are a broad base, not an outlier cell. Compare that shape with Minnesota’s FARMER join on the same $66,637,048, then stop before ranking farm states. Contributor state, not acreage maps, assigned these rows. Rancher and farm owner remain outside both cells unless those exact words were typed.

Questions

How much have North Dakota farmers given in FEC individual contributions?

Donors listing occupation FARMER with a North Dakota address reported $5,463,328, from 843 donors and 14,455 itemized contributions. That is about 8% of the $66,637,048 recorded nationally under FARMER. The join is not a census of North Dakota farms or a total of state-level political giving.

Is 8% large for a small state?

North Dakota is about 8% of FARMER dollars ($5,463,328 of $66,637,048), about 8% of contributions (14,455 of 189,146), and about 6% of donors (843 of 14,343). Those shares are a fact about this occupation string, not a ranking of states and not a measure of farm output. Most FARMER money remains outside North Dakota.

Are ranchers included?

Only if the occupation field says FARMER. Rancher is a separate occupation page. National FARMER is $66,637,048 from 14,343 donors; this North Dakota join is $5,463,328 from 843 donors with contributor state ND. Agricultural titles are not combined.

Are these contributions to North Dakota candidates?

The filter is donor state plus occupation, not recipient office. A North Dakota-addressed FARMER can give to any FEC-registered committee. Mapping the $5,463,328 from 14,455 gifts to races requires committee-level receipts The packet totals for this join remain the occupation–state filter described above, with no extra dollar figures beyond those facts.
