Farming political money — 2014 cycle

Why Farming and 2014 share a page

This page exists because two FEC dimensions meet: employer/industry grouping Farming and even-year election cycle 2014. $784,124 is the intersection. $14,879,078 is the grouping’s harvested all-cycle total before the year filter. 884 is the 2014 line count. The 2014 donor count is 368 donors. LobbyVault does not convert those integers into a motive, a lobbying total, or a USAspending award.

Open the Farming 2014 cycle hub for the live overlay of this cut, the Farming industry hub for the parent grouping, the 2014 election-cycle index for every industry in that year, and All FEC ties for sibling joins. Quote $784,124 when the sentence is about 2014. 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 2014 slice for Farming

In 2014, receipts tagged Farming sum to $784,124 on 884 itemized lines from 368 donors. About $887 per receipt is $784,124 divided by 884. About $2,131 per harvested donor is $784,124 divided by 368. FEC even-year cycles run January 1 of the odd year through December 31 of the even year; 2014 names that two-year window, not a single November night.

The same Farming grouping that shows $787,567 in 2012 shows $784,124 in 2014 from 884 receipts and 368 donors. Those two cycles are separate joins. Do not average them into a ‘typical farm year’ unless you say you are averaging two packet totals. 2014 is a midterm cycle in FEC even-year numbering; this page still does not assign a cause to the dollar difference.

The Farming grouping beyond 2014

The parent grouping indexes $14,879,078 ($14.9 million rounded). 2014’s $784,124 is 5.3% of that parent. Other even-year cuts exist on other cycle hubs. This packet publishes one cycle integer for this page: $784,124. Do not invent a 2012 or 2016 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 $784,124 or $14,879,078.

5.3% is $784,124 divided by $14,879,078. Rounding to $784,124 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 2014. It is not a party split; this packet has none. It is not a unique-person census of a workforce. The harvest counts 368 donors in the 2014 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 $784,124. State-office campaigns never enter $784,124. Amendments can restate large transfers while most of the 884 small lines stay put. After quarterly filings, reread the Farming 2014 hub. If that hub and this snapshot disagree, FEC.gov controls.

Comparing Farming in 2014 to another industry requires that other industry’s cycle hub. This packet has one grouping and one cycle. A ranking of industries for 2014 is a different page — the 2014 election-cycle index — not a homemade sort of this file.

How to cite Farming in 2014

Citation template: employer/industry grouping Farming, election cycle 2014, $784,124 on 884 itemized individual contributions from 368 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 2014 overlay, the Farming industry page, the 2014 election-cycle index, and All FEC ties. Keep $887 labeled as dollars divided by lines if you print a mean. Keep 368 donors labeled as harvested donors, not employees.

Keep the unit explicit. Farming is an employer/industry string. 2014 is an FEC two-year cycle. $784,124 is itemized individual contributions in that intersection. The harvested donor count is 368 donors. 884 is the line count. $14,879,078 is the parent grouping. None of those fields is a vote total.

Reading Farming next to the 2014 cycle index

The Farming 2014 overlay is the live table for this cut. The Farming industry page is the parent grouping at $14,879,078. The 2014 election-cycle index lists other employer strings in the same two-year window; it is not a license to add those strings to $784,124. All FEC ties holds sibling joins. Use all four links. None of them converts $784,124 into USAspending obligations.

A later bulk file can restate $784,124 without rewriting this paragraph. Treat the hubs as current and this JSON as a packet snapshot. Quote 2014 as an FEC even-year cycle, Farming as a filer-entered employer or occupation grouping, and 368 donors as a harvested donor count on 884 lines. That is the whole join: Farming × 2014 = $784,124.

Do not print a 2014 ‘share of US politics’ statistic from $784,124. 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.

Questions

Is $784,124 all Farming political money?

No. The grouping indexes $14,879,078 across harvested cycles. $784,124 is the 2014 cut only. Other even-year hubs hold other cycle integers.
