# §780.200. Inclusion of forestry or lumbering operations in agriculture is limited.


Employment in forestry or lumbering operations is expressly included in agriculture if the operations are performed “by a farmer or on a farm as an incident to or in conjunction with such farming operation.” While “agriculture” is sometimes used in a broad sense as including the science and art of cultivating forests, the language quoted in the preceding sentence is a limitation on the forestry and lumbering operations which will be considered agricultural for purposes of [section 3(f)](/cfr/29/3.md?p=f). It follows that employees of an employer engaged exclusively in forestry or lumbering operations are not considered agricultural employees.
