Phraseology

Poultry Farm & Drivers

Description

Code 0034 applies to employers engaged in operating a farm where the employer’s books of accounts show that the sale of poultry and eggs constitute at least 80% of the total sales of all products of the farm sold during the policy period.  Operations consist of breeding and raising birds such as chickens, turkeys, geese, pheasants, ducks, and pigeons.  Eggs produced by the birds are hatched for reproduction purposes and/or sold.  This classification includes debeaking, caponizing and vaccinating the employer’s own birds.  This classification also includes growing crops for use as feed on the employer’s poultry farm.    

A farm exclusively engaged in producing fruit, poultry, vegetables and/or berries that has no other commercial product and does not qualify for the application of any other farm classification, shall be assigned to the highest rated farm classification which describes any part of the operations.
