| General Scope of Agriculture |
Seeds and seedlings of agricultural and horticultural plants are considered ``agricultural or horticultural commodities.'' Thus, since mushrooms and beans are considered ``agricultural or horticultural commodities,'' the spawn of mushrooms and bean sprouts are also so considered and the production, cultivation, growing, and harvesting of mushroom spawn or bean sprouts is ``agriculture'' within the meaning of section 3(f).
