Which code does this activity belong in?
Crop harvesting by machine covers establishments that perform mechanical harvesting, picking, and combining operations and supply their own specialized machinery for these activities. This code differs from soil preparation and planting services, which handle pre-harvest activities like plowing and fertilizing. It also excludes postharvest activities such as cleaning, sorting, and packing that occur after crops leave the field. Farm labor contractors who supply workers for harvesting, rather than operating harvesting machinery themselves, are classified separately.
