Employment in Agriculture and Livestock Auction Operations Under the Section 13(b)(13) Exemption

29 CFR 780.614 - Definition of a farmer.

  • Section Number: 780.614
  • Section Name: Definition of a farmer. 
    The Act does not define the term ``farmer.'' Whether an employer is 
a ``farmer'' within the meaning of section 13(b)(13) must be determined 
by consideration of the particular facts, keeping in mind the purpose of 
the exemption. A full discussion of the meaning of the term ``farmer'' 
as used in the Act's definition of agriculture is contained in 
Secs. 780.130 through 780.133. Generally, as indicated in that 
discussion, a farmer under the Act is one who engages, as an occupation, 
in farming operations as a distinct activity for the purpose of 
producing a farm crop. A corporation or a farmers' cooperative may be a 
``farmer'' if engaged in actual farming of the nature and extent there 
indicated.
