# §780.618. “His own account”—“in conjunction with other farmers.”


Under the terms of [section 13(b)(13)](/cfr/29/13.md?p=b-13), the farmer may operate a livestock auction solely for his own benefit or he may join with “other farmers” to auction livestock for their mutual benefit. (See [§ 780.614](/cfr/29/780.614.md) with regard to the definition of “farmer.”) Unless the auction is conducted by the farmer alone or with others who are “farmers” the exemption does not apply.
