Which code does this activity belong in?
Farm Management Services comprises establishments that provide overall management direction for farm operations, typically for citrus groves, orchards, or vineyards, on a contract or fee basis. These establishments coordinate and may directly perform or arrange for cultivation, harvesting, and other specialized support activities. The key distinction is that Farm Management Services provides comprehensive farm oversight and decision-making authority, whereas Soil Preparation, Planting, and Cultivating; Crop Harvesting, Primarily by Machine; and Postharvest Crop Activities each address specific operational tasks without assuming overall management responsibility for the farm enterprise.
