Farming political money — 2012 cycle

Why Farming and 2012 share a page

This page exists because two FEC dimensions meet: employer/industry grouping Farming and even-year election cycle 2012. $787,567 is the intersection. $14,879,078 is the grouping’s harvested all-cycle total before the year filter. 1,084 is the 2012 line count. The 2012 donor count is 434 donors. LobbyVault does not convert those integers into a motive, a lobbying total, or a USAspending award.

Open the Farming 2012 cycle hub for the live overlay of this cut, the Farming industry hub for the parent grouping, the 2012 election-cycle index for every industry in that year, and All FEC ties for sibling joins. Quote $787,567 when the sentence is about 2012. Quote $14,879,078 when the sentence is about the grouping across cycles. Do not add those two dollar figures; the first is already inside the second.

The 2012 slice for Farming

In 2012, receipts tagged Farming sum to $787,567 on 1,084 itemized lines from 434 donors. About $727 per receipt is $787,567 divided by 1,084. About $1,815 per harvested donor is $787,567 divided by 434. FEC even-year cycles run January 1 of the odd year through December 31 of the even year; 2012 names that two-year window, not a single November night.

Farming is an occupation or industry word, not USDA farm-count and not a commodity checkoff. Four hundred thirty-four donors and 1,084 receipts produced $787,567 in 2012, a broad presidential-year slice of a $14,879,078 grouping. Farmer, Agriculture, and named-grower employers are other keys. This page does not add them.

The Farming grouping beyond 2012

The parent grouping indexes $14,879,078 ($14.9 million rounded). 2012’s $787,567 is 5.3% of that parent. Other even-year cuts exist on other cycle hubs. This packet publishes one cycle integer for this page: $787,567. Do not invent a 2010 or 2014 total from these facts.

Employer strings are filer-entered. Farming captures whatever collapsed into this key in the harvest. Spelling variants, subsidiaries, and occupation words that look similar sit on other keys unless they matched. Independent expenditures by a committee that shares a brand with Farming are a different schedule and are not inside $787,567 or $14,879,078.

5.3% is $787,567 divided by $14,879,078. Rounding to $787,567 and $14.9 million does not create extra facts. Use exact integers in a table. Use the rounded forms only as headlines of those same integers.

Limits of an industry × cycle join

This join is not a claim that Farming bought an election in 2012. It is not a party split; this packet has none. It is not a unique-person census of a workforce. The harvest counts 434 donors in the 2012 slice, and one person can still appear across committees. It is not federal spending under USAspending.gov. Contributions do not fund awards on this page.

Unitemized federal gifts never enter $787,567. State-office campaigns never enter $787,567. Amendments can restate large transfers while most of the 1,084 small lines stay put. After quarterly filings, reread the Farming 2012 hub. If that hub and this snapshot disagree, FEC.gov controls.

Comparing Farming in 2012 to another industry requires that other industry’s cycle hub. This packet has one grouping and one cycle. A ranking of industries for 2012 is a different page — the 2012 election-cycle index — not a homemade sort of this file.

How to cite Farming in 2012

Citation template: employer/industry grouping Farming, election cycle 2012, $787,567 on 1,084 itemized individual contributions from 434 donors, which is 5.3% of the grouping’s harvested $14,879,078 all-cycle total. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Then point to the Farming 2012 overlay, the Farming industry page, the 2012 election-cycle index, and All FEC ties. Keep $727 labeled as dollars divided by lines if you print a mean. Keep 434 donors labeled as harvested donors, not employees.

Keep the unit explicit. Farming is an employer/industry string. 2012 is an FEC two-year cycle. $787,567 is itemized individual contributions in that intersection. The harvested donor count is 434 donors. 1,084 is the line count. $14,879,078 is the parent grouping. None of those fields is a vote total.

Reading Farming next to the 2012 cycle index

The Farming 2012 overlay is the live table for this cut. The Farming industry page is the parent grouping at $14,879,078. The 2012 election-cycle index lists other employer strings in the same two-year window; it is not a license to add those strings to $787,567. All FEC ties holds sibling joins. Use all four links. None of them converts $787,567 into USAspending obligations.

A later bulk file can restate $787,567 without rewriting this paragraph. Treat the hubs as current and this JSON as a packet snapshot. Quote 2012 as an FEC even-year cycle, Farming as a filer-entered employer or occupation grouping, and 434 donors as a harvested donor count on 1,084 lines. That is the whole join: Farming × 2012 = $787,567.

Do not print a 2012 ‘share of US politics’ statistic from $787,567. The denominator for 5.3% is $14,879,078, the Farming grouping in this extract, not every itemized dollar on FEC.gov. A sentence that drops that denominator misstates the join.
