(a) The specific exemptions which the Act provides for employment in
agriculture and in certain operations more or less closely connected
with the agricultural industry are discussed in this part 780. These
exemptions differ substantially in their terms, scope, and methods of
application. Each of them is therefore separately considered in a
subpart of this part which, together with this subpart A, constitutes
the official interpretative bulletin of the Department of Labor with
respect to that exemption. Exemptions from minimum wages and overtime
pay and the subparts in which they are considered include the section
13(a)(6) exemptions for employees on small farms, family members, local
hand harvest laborers, migrant hand harvest workers under 16, and range
production employees discussed in subpart D of this part, and the
section 13(a)(14) exemption for agricultural employees processing shade-
grown tobacco discussed in subpart F of this part.
(b) Exemptions from the overtime pay provisions and the subparts in
which these exemptions are discussed include the section 13(b)(12)
exemption (agriculture and irrigation) discussed in subpart E of this
part, the section 13(b)(13) exemption (agriculture and livestock auction
operations) discussed in subpart G of this part, the section 13(b)(14)
exemption (country elevators) discussed in subpart H of this part, the
section 13(b)(15) exemption (cotton ginning and sugar processing)
discussed in subpart I of this part, and the section 13(b)(16) exemption
(fruit and vegetable
harvest transportation) discussed in subpart J of this part.
(c) An exemption in section 13(d) of the Act from the minimum wage,
overtime pay, and child labor provisions for certain homeworkers making
holly and evergreen wreaths is discussed in subpart K of this part.
