General Scope of Agriculture


29 CFR 780.148 - ``Any'' practices meeting the requirements will qualify for exemption.

  • Section Number: 780.148
  • Section Name: ``Any'' practices meeting the requirements will qualify for exemption.

    The language of section 3(f) of the Act, in defining the 
``secondary'' meaning of ``agriculture,'' provides that any practices 
performed by a farmer or on a farm as an incident to or in conjunction 
with such (his or its) farming operations are within the definition. The 
practices which may be exempt as ``agriculture'' if so performed are 
stated to include forestry or lumbering operations, preparation for 
market, and delivery to storage or to market or to carriers for 
transportation to market. The specification of these practices is 
illustrative rather than limiting in nature. The broad language of the 
definition clearly includes all practices thus performed and not merely 
those named (see Maneja v. Waialua, 349 U.S. 254).
