Official definition

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

The establishments in this sector are often described as farms, ranches, dairies, greenhouses, nurseries, orchards, or hatcheries. A farm may consist of a single tract of land or a number of separate tracts which may be held under different tenures. For example, one tract may be owned by the farm operator and another rented. It may be operated by the operator alone or with the assistance of members of the household or hired employees, or it may be operated by a partnership, corporation, or other type of organization. When a landowner has one or more tenants, renters, croppers, or managers, the land operated by each is considered a farm.

The sector distinguishes two basic activities: agricultural production and agricultural support activities. Agricultural production includes establishments performing the complete farm or ranch operation, such as farm owner-operators and tenant farm operators. Agricultural support activities include establishments that perform one or more activities associated with farm operation, such as soil preparation, planting, harvesting, and management, on a contract or fee basis.

Excluded from the Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Hunting sector are establishments primarily engaged in agricultural research (e.g., experimental farms) and government establishments primarily engaged in administering programs for regulating and conserving land, mineral, wildlife, and forest use. These establishments are classified in NAICS Code 54171 - Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences, Engineering, and Life Sciences; and NAICS Code 92412 - Administration of Conservation Programs, respectively.

Why do company counts differ?

The U.S. Economic Census counts establishments with paid employees that operated during the census year, including businesses that may have since closed. Its industry classifications draw on business-reported information and government records. SICCODE.com's counts reflect verified business records currently available for purchase, with classifications based on documented business activities. Differences in reporting periods, database coverage, classification methods and verification criteria mean the totals may differ.
