Agricultural Services, Forestry, Fishing, and Mining

This represents the combined data for two divisions: 1) Agricultural
Services, Forestry, and Fishing; and 2) Mining.

The first division includes establishments primarily engaged in
agricultural services, forestry, commercial fishing, hunting and
trapping, and related services.

The classification of agricultural services includes establishments
primarily engaged in supplying soil preparation services, crop
services, landscape and horticultural services, veterinary and other
animal services, and farm labor and management services.

The classification of forestry covers establishments primarily engaged
in the operation of timber tracts, tree farms, or forest nurseries; in
the gathering of forest products; or in performing forestry services.
Logging establishments are classified in Manufacturing Industry 24.

The classification of fishing and hunting and trapping covers
establishments primarily engaged in commercial fishing (including
shellfish and marine products); in operating fish hatcheries and fish
and game preserves; and in commercial hunting and trapping.

The second division includes all establishments primarily engaged in 
mining.  The term mining is used in the broad sense to include the 
extraction of minerals occuring naturally: solids, such as coal and
ores; liquids, such as crude petroleum; and gases such as natural
gases.  The term mining is also used in the broad sense to include
quarrying, well operations, milling (e.g., crushing, screening, 
washing, flotation), and other preparation customarily done at the 
mine site, or as a part of mining activity.
