29 CFR 780.139 - Pea vining.

  • Section Number: 780.139
  • Section Name: Pea vining.

    Vining employees of a pea vinery located on a farm, who vine only 
the peas grown on that particular farm, are engaged in agriculture. If 
they also vine peas grown on other farms, such operations could not be 
within section 3(f) unless the farmer-employer owns or operates the 
other farms and vines his own peas exclusively. However, the work of 
vining station employees in weeks in which the stations vine only peas 
grown by a canner on farms owned or leased by him is considered part of 
the canning operations. As such, the cannery operations, including the 
vining operations, are within section 3(f) only if the canners can crops 
which he grows himself and if the canning operations are subordinate to 
the farming operations.
