The misinterpretation and misapplication of this law is a danger to the entire program. Then in 1976. the Labor Department tried to say that anyone engaed in a custom poultry harvesting. breeding. debeaking. sexing. or health service operation is a farm labor contractor. Again. it was clear that those persons were neither farm labor contractors nor migrant workers. and Congress had to adopt an amendment to specifically say that they are not covered by the term "farm labor contractor." Yet a third time. in 1978. the Labor Department said that students and other young persons engaged in detasseling and roguing hybrid seed corn or sorghum are migrant workers and that the persons involved in organizing them or transporting them are farm labor contractors. Yet again. we recognized that that was not the case. and for the third time. Congress adopted an amendment to specifically say so.
