Sec. 780.3  Exemptions discussed in this part.

    (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.
