Agriculture As It Relates To Specific Situations

29 CFR 780.200 - Inclusion of forestry or lumbering operations in agriculture is limited. Forestry or Lumbering Operations

  • Section Number: 780.200
  • Section Name: Inclusion of forestry or lumbering operations in agriculture is limited. Forestry or Lumbering Operations 

    Employment in forestry or lumbering operations is expressly included 
in agriculture if the operations are performed ``by a farmer or on a 
farm as an incident to or in conjunction with such farming operation.'' 
While ``agriculture'' is sometimes used in a broad sense as including 
the science and art of cultivating forests, the language quoted in the 
preceding sentence is a limitation on the forestry and lumbering 
operations which will be considered agricultural for purposes of section 
3(f). It follows that employees of an employer engaged exclusively in 
forestry or lumbering operations are not considered agricultural 
employees.
