29 CFR 780.150 - Scope and limits of ``preparation for market.''

  • Section Number: 780.150
  • Section Name: Scope and limits of ``preparation for market.'' 
    ``Preparation for market'' is also named as one of the practices 
which may be included in ``agriculture.'' The term includes the 
operations normally performed upon farm commodities to prepare them for 
the farmer's market. The farmer's market normally means the wholesaler, 
processor, or distributing agency to which the farmer delivers his 
products. ``Preparation for market'' clearly has reference to activities 
which precede ``delivery to market.'' It is not, however, synonymous 
with ``preparation for sale.'' The term must be treated differently with 
respect to various commodities. It is emphasized that ``preparation for 
market,'' like other practices, must be performed ``by a farmer or on a 
farm as an incident to or in conjunction with such farming operations'' 
in order to be within section 3(f).
