                             TITLE 29--LABOR
 
         CHAPTER V--WAGE AND HOUR DIVISION, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
 
PART 780_EXEMPTIONS APPLICABLE TO AGRICULTURE, PROCESSING OF AGRICULTURAL 
 
                 Subpart B_General Scope of Agriculture
 
Sec. 780.114  Wild commodities.

    Employees engaged in the gathering or harvesting of wild commodities 
such as mosses, wild rice, burls and laurel plants, the trapping of wild 
animals, or the appropriation of minerals and other uncultivated 
products from the soil are not employed in ``the production, 
cultivation, growing, and harvesting of agricultural or horticultural 
commodities.'' However, the fact that plants or other commodities 
actually cultivated by men are of a species which ordinarily grows wild 
without being cultivated does not preclude them from being classed as 
``agricultural or horticultural commodities.'' Transplanted branches 
which were cut from plants growing wild in the field or forest are 
included within the term. Cultivated blueberries are also included.
