Lobbying Disclosure Act query: quarterly reports with the phrase 'farm bill' in a lobbying activity description, 2018 and 2024 to 2025
Source: Lobbying Disclosure Act database, lda.gov API (the older lda.senate.gov address showed a maintenance page), run 9 November 2026. Query: for filing_year 2018, 2024 and 2025 and each filing_type Q1 to Q4 (original quarterly reports, so amendments are excluded), filing_specific_lobbying_issues matching the phrase "farm bill", every page returned; the API returns one row per matching activity line, so rows were de-duplicated by filing_uuid and the phrase was re-checked in each retained activity description. Result: 2,087 reports from 716 clients through 477 registrants in 2018; 3,285 reports from 1,003 clients through 602 registrants in 2024; 2,450 reports from 746 clients through 446 registrants in 2025. Limiting to activity lines coded AGR (Agriculture) that contain the phrase: 1,597 reports and 534 clients in 2018, 2,558 reports and 772 clients in 2024, 1,980 reports and 608 clients in 2025. Dollar figures in a filing (income for outside firms, expenses for in-house filers) cover all of a client's issues, so no farm bill total can be read from them. The query covers every filer whose report contains the phrase, whatever its industry or leaning; it does not identify which side of any farm bill provision a client lobbied.
