<br />The Agriculture, Forestry,
<br />Fishing and Hunting sector
<br />comprises establishments
<br />primarily engaged in
<br />growing crops, raising
<br />animals, harvesting timber,
<br />and harvesting fish and
<br />other animals from a farm,
<br />ranch, or their natural
<br />habitats.

<br />greenhouses, nurseries,
<br />orchards, or hatcheries. A
<br />farm may consist of a
<br />single tract of land or a number of separate tracts which may be held under different tenures. For
<br />example, one tract may be owned by the farm operator and another rented. It may be operated by the
<br />operator alone or with the assistance of members of the household or hired employees, or it may be
<br />operated by a partnership, corporation, or other type of organization. When a landowner has one or more
<br />tenants, renters, croppers, or managers, the land operated by each is considered a farm.
<br />The sector distinguishes two basic activities: agricultural production and agricultural support activities.
<br />Agricultural production includes establishments performing the complete farm or ranch operation, such as
<br />farm owner - operators, tenant farm operators, and sharecroppers. Agricultural support activities include
<br />establishments that perform one or more activities associated with farm operation, such as soil
<br />preparation, planting, harvesting, and management, on a contract or fee basis.
<br />Excluded from the Agriculture, Forestry, Hunting and Fishing sector are establishments primarily engaged
<br />in agricultural research and establishments primarily engaged in administering programs for regulating
<br />and conserving land, mineral, wildlife, and forest use. These establishments are classified in Industry
<br />54171, Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences; and Industry 92412,
<br />Administration of Conservation Programs, respectively.
