Farmer political contributions from Texas

Farmer and Texas as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation FARMER and donor state TX produce $3,152,981, 10,001 contributions, and 827 donors. The occupation hub is $66,637,048, 189,146 contributions, and 14,343 donors. Texas’s dollar share is about 4.7%; contribution share about 5.3% (10,001 of 189,146); donor share about 5.8% (827 of 14,343). Eight hundred twenty-seven Texas donors are about 5.8% of 14,343 national donors; 10,001 contributions are about 5.3% of 189,146 national rows; dollars are about 4.7% of $66,637,048.

RANCHER, AGRICULTURE, and FARM OWNER, 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 Texas professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

827 Texas donors produced 10,001 contributions, about 12.1 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 Texas cell is about $315, against about $352 nationwide. Texas’s about 4.7% share of $66,637,048 tracks the national mix rather than concentrating dollars in a handful of people.

FARMER as an agricultural-title 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 Texas (TX). Fourteen thousand three hundred forty-three national donors make FARMER a many-person bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state TX.

Texas geography on the contribution

827 Texas donors produced 10,001 contributions totaling $3,152,981. Donor state TX is the address on the record, not proof of a Texas license, and not a limit to Texas candidates. TX is the address on the itemized record, not proof of Texas acreage, and not a map of which campaigns received the $3,152,981.

The Texas campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to TX. This join is only FARMER. The Farmer occupation hub without Texas still holds about 95.3% of the $66,637,048. Texas’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to TX. FARMER is only this filter.

What the Farmer–Texas join is not

This page does not count farms, merge rancher 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 RANCHER even when filers meant livestock.

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 TX is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Acreage and crop type are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Farmer filter

Subtract the Texas 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 ($63,484,067) 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 827 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 10,001 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $3,152,981 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Texas dollars, or only the FARMER national total, drops a key. Eight hundred twenty-seven donors producing 10,001 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $3,152,981 headline.

Farmer donations holds the $66,637,048 national occupation total. Texas 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. Iowa has a separate Farmer occupation-state tie in this same slice; do not add those dollars here.
