How much did Farming donors give in 2010?

FEC.gov aggregates show $635,302 in itemized individual contributions for the Farming grouping in the 2010 cycle, across 925 contributions and 399 donors. That sum is not a PAC total, not an independent-expenditure total, and not the $14,879,078 all-cycle figure on the industry hub. Unitemized gifts sit outside this cell.

What share of Farming FEC money is 2010?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $14,879,078. The 2010 cell of $635,302 is about 4.3% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 95.7% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Farming hub holds other cycles; the 2010 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Does this include only current Farming employees or licensees?

No. The bucket is the self-reported string Farming. The FEC does not verify licenses or current jobs. Neighboring spellings and titles sit in other groupings unless they were stored as this exact key. This join reports the string match for 2010 only, totaling $635,302 from 399 donors on 925 contribution lines.

Farming and the 2010 FEC election cycle

$635,302 in itemized individual contributions is the 2010-cycle join for the employer/occupation grouping Farming. FEC.gov aggregates count 925 contributions from 399 donors. The same string totals $14,879,078 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 4.3% of the lifetime bucket — a self-reported label meeting a two-year window, not an agriculture NAICS total and not a farm-bureau PAC.

Farming as stored text, 2010 as cycle

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Farming and 2010 — sum to $635,302. 925 itemized contributions and 399 unique donors produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables. 2010 is a midterm even-year window; that fact describes the FEC calendar, not which contests received the money.

Neither the Farming hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Farming is stored form text, not a verified employer file. 399 donors and 925 lines in 2010 matched that word. People who typed a crop, a ranch name, or a farm LLC instead of Farming sit in other buckets. FARMER, AGRICULTURE, RANCHER, and FARM are other keys. This page is the exact grouped string Farming as stored.

4.3% of the Farming roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $14,879,078. The 2010 slice of $635,302 is about 4.3% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 95.7%. Treating 2010 as the Farming FEC story would ignore that remainder. The share is a scale check, not a peak-year ranking and not proof of a coordinated program.

Treat $14,879,078 as the denominator for the 4.3% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, not assets under management, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2010 from being folded silently into $14,879,078. Federal awards in other databases remain a different dataset; sharing a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants.

925 contributions from 399 donors

Dividing $635,302 by 925 contributions yields about $687 per itemized gift. Dividing by 399 donors yields about $1,592 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 2.3. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians, not a party split, and not a typical-gift claim. The FEC does not verify that a donor operates a farm.

399 unique donors are contributor identities, not a headcount of employees, licensees, or members. Retirees and household members who reuse a workplace or title can appear. Repeat gifts raise the contribution count faster than the donor count. The overlay for Farming 2010 holds the rows. Recipients can include candidate committees, party committees, leadership PACs, and Super PACs; this join does not split those buckets in the headline facts.

2010 as the cycle dimension

The 2010 election cycle hub includes every stored employer for that window. Farming is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Open the 2010 election cycle to drop the employer filter and Farming to drop the year. Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $635,302 cell because the cycle is a two-year tag, not a single Tuesday.

That mechanical fact is easy to forget when a searcher wants an election-night number. The overlay is where dates become visible. This join publishes the cycle total, the 925 contributions, the 399 unique donors, and the 4.3% share of $14,879,078. Correlation between an employer or occupation string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 399 donors, and 925 contributions.

Titles the Commission does not verify

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $635,302. FARMER, AGRICULTURE, RANCHER, and FARM are other keys. People who typed a crop, a ranch name, or a farm LLC instead of Farming are counted elsewhere unless the treasurer grouped them to this exact string. The FEC does not verify that a donor operates a farm. The page is not an agriculture NAICS total and not a farm-bureau PAC.

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. Farming is the spelling as committees stored it. Researchers who want a combined family of neighboring labels must recode after export. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. Sharing an employer string and a calendar year does not attach a motive, a client matter, or a federal award to the $635,302 cell.

Citing Farming and 2010 together

Start with $635,302, then Farming 2010 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2010 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Farming, 2010, $635,302, 925 contributions, 399 donors, 4.3% of $14,879,078, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 4.3% share, the 399-donor count, and the $687 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a successor label or a sibling occupation word and they stop being facts from this packet. This prose is a packet snapshot. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live overlay control. The join exists because two tables meet; it is not a restatement of one hub.
