In order for the exemption to apply, the employees must be engaged
``in transportation'' of the specified harvest workers between the
points stated in the statute. Actual engagement ``in transportation'' of
such workers is required. Engagement in other activities is not exempt
work. Drivers, driver's helpers, and others who are engaged in the
actual movement of the persons transported may qualify for the
exemption. Office employees, garage mechanics, and other employees of
the employer who may perform supporting activities but do not engage in
the actual transportation work do not come within the exemption. There
is no restriction in the statute as to the means of conveyance used; the
exempt transportation may be by land, air, or water in any vehicle or
conveyance appropriate for the purpose. Employees of any employer who
are engaged in the specified transportation activities may qualify for
exemption; it is not necessary that the transportation be performed by
the farmer. (See Sec. 780.905.)
