29 CFR 780.155 - Delivery ``to carriers for transportation to market.''

  • Section Number: 780.155
  • Section Name: Delivery ``to carriers for transportation to market.''

    The term ``delivery * * * to carriers for transportation to market'' 
includes taking agricultural or horticultural
commodities, dairy products, livestock, bees or their honey, fur-bearing 
animals or their pelts, and poultry to any carrier (including carriers 
by truck, rail, water, etc.) for transportation by such carrier to 
market. The market referred to is the farmer's market which normally 
means the distributing agency, cooperative marketing agency, wholesaler, 
or processor to which the farmer delivers his products. As in the case 
of ``delivery to market,'' when it involves travel off the farm (as 
would normally be the case) the delivery must be performed by the 
farmer's own employees in order to constitute an agricultural practice. 
Employees of the carrier who transport to market the commodities which 
are delivered to it are not within the scope of agriculture.

         Transportation Operations Not Mentioned in Section 3(f)
