[Cases: Agriculture    3.1.]

“ ‘Agriculture’ is broader in meaning than ‘farming’; and while it includes the preparation of

soil,  the  planting  of  seeds,  the  raising  and  harvesting  of  crops,  and  all  their  incidents,  it  also

includes gardening,  horticulture, viticulture, dairying,  poultry, bee raising, and ranching.” 3  Am.

Jur. 2d Agriculture § 1, at 934–35 (1986). [Blacks Law 8th]
