Subpart B

General Scope of Agriculture

• Section Number: 780.113
• Section Name: Seeds, spawn, etc.

    Seeds and seedlings of agricultural and horticultural plants are 
considered ``agricultural or horticultural commodities.'' Thus, since 
mushrooms and beans are considered ``agricultural or horticultural 
commodities,'' the spawn of mushrooms and bean sprouts are also so 
considered and the production, cultivation, growing, and harvesting of 
mushroom spawn or bean sprouts is ``agriculture'' within the meaning of 
section 3(f).
