>I have a table of voter info called Farmers with 92K rows in it. I also have a table of voters called tblCamp_CT with 9 million rows. I added a column to tblCamp_CT called 'IsFarmer' TINYINT.

WHILE (2 > 1)
  BEGIN
    BEGIN TRANSACTION
    UPDATE TOP ( 10000 ) tblCamp_CT SET isFarmer = 1
    FROM tblCamp
    INNER JOIN Farmers ON ....
    WHERE  tblCamp.isFarmer = 0
    
    IF @@ROWCOUNT = 0
      BEGIN
        COMMIT TRANSACTION
        BREAK
      END
    COMMIT TRANSACTION
  END -- WHILE
