29 CFR 780.114 - Wild commodities.

  • Section Number: 780.114
  • Section Name: Wild commodities.

    Employees engaged in the gathering or harvesting of wild commodities 
such as mosses, wild rice, burls and laurel plants, the trapping of wild 
animals, or the appropriation of minerals and other uncultivated 
products from the soil are not employed in ``the production, 
cultivation, growing, and harvesting of agricultural or horticultural 
commodities.'' However, the fact that plants or other commodities 
actually cultivated by men are of a species which ordinarily grows wild 
without being cultivated does not preclude them from being classed as 
``agricultural or horticultural commodities.'' Transplanted branches 
which were cut from plants growing wild in the field or forest are 
included within the term. Cultivated blueberries are also included.
