Are farm workers excluded because it's easier? Wouldn't matter I suppose just curious.

> obtaining accurate farming employment numbers is complicated by:

    - Self-employment
    - Unpaid family employment
    - Part-time or hobby farmers
    - Other partnerships

Not to mention that a lot of farming is done by undocumented workers, who don't necessarily appear on payrolls. It's hard to find people to do hard, dangerous, exhausting work for so little pay.

Isn't the true for other industries as well though, not just farming?

Farm vs. Non-farm is a pretty common distinction when talking about labor markets if I'm not mistaken.

In addition to other mentioned reasons, farm work is also extremely seasonal.
