                 Subpart B_General Scope of Agriculture

 

Sec.  780.142  Practices on a farm not related to farming operations.



    Practices performed on a farm in connection with nonfarming 

operations performed on or off such farm do not meet the requirement 

stated in Sec.  780.141. For example, if a farmer operates a gravel pit 

on his farm, none of the practices performed in connection with the 

operation of such gravel pit would be within section 3(f). Whether or 

not some practices are performed in connection with farming operations 

conducted on the farm where they are performed must be determined with 

reference to the purpose of the farmer for whom the practice is 

performed. Thus, land clearing operations may or may not be connected 

with such farming operations depending on whether or not the farmer 

intends to devote the cleared land to farm use.
