Agriculture and Food Processing

The conclusion. Agriculture and food processing were reached by orders in every one of the six claimable quarters, and the proof begins with the President's own words. Executive Order 13917 of April 28, 2020 (85 Fed. Reg. 26313) found that 'recent actions in…

In plain terms: if you ran a farm, a ranch, a packing house, a food-processing plant or a farm labor crew between March 2020 and September 2021, the government told you, under penalty, how many workers could sleep in a bunkhouse, how far apart they had to stand in the row and on the line, who could ride in the crew bus and what they had to wear, whether your seasonal workers could get a visa interview or cross the border at all, and whether the restaurants, schools and cafeterias that bought about half of what you produced were allowed to open their doors. In April 2020 the large meat plants closed outright and the President put every meat and poultry processor under the Defense Production Act. Washington, Oregon and California wrote rules for the labor camp and the field; Michigan tested every camp resident; North Carolina and Kentucky wrote rules for the plant floor; every consulate stopped routine visa interviews on March 20, 2020; both land borders were limited to essential travel until November 8, 2021.

The orders reached all ten functions of the business, from the field and the line to the workforce, the inputs, the transport and the customers. This page sets those orders out by layer, quarter and function, with instrument numbers, dates and exhibit links, and answers from the public record the fourteen sentences the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") uses in its letters. Four terms recur: the "Suspension Clause" (CARES Act § 2301(c)(2)(A)(ii)(I) and I.R.C. § 3134(c)(2)(A)(ii)(I)), the "Notice" (Notice 2021-20), the "United States" (the Government as a litigant) and the "Library" (this site's Orders Library; "Ex. SEC-20-001" is an exhibit). The quarter the Service's letters most often dispute is the third quarter of 2021, and the record answers it.

Partial suspension, element by element

Every analysis on this site asks the same five questions in the same order. Here they are asked of Agriculture and Food Processing, from the industry's own record.

The order: issuer, instrument, date, exhibit.The Library holds 37 instruments from this industry's own regulators and sector authorities and 66 organizer notices. The earliest is U.S. Embassy and Consulates in Mexico, Status of U.S. Consular Operations in Mexico in Light of COVID-19 (web page cited in 85 Fed. Reg. 21739) (Mar. 18, 2020) (Ex. SEC-20-027). The fifty-State regime table below names the State orders that reached its premises, State by State, each with its exhibit; the federal layer and the standing duties sit behind them on every day of the six quarters.
The function of the business it reached.The orders named the functions of the business in terms. Three of this industry's 10 function codes: FPfarm production and harvestPKpacking and processing plantsLBlabor. The full key follows this panel, and Function by function reads the orders against each code.
The change it compelled: the operative words.The operative words of Suspension of Routine Visa Services (announcement of Mar. 18, effective Mar. 20, 2020) (Ex. SEC-20-012): “the Department of State is temporarily suspending routine visa services at all U.S. Embassies and Consulates. Embassies and consulates will cancel all routine immigrant and nonimmigrant visa appointments as of March 20, 2020. As resources allow, embassies and consulates will continue to provide…” Each record page quotes the operative words in full, with the enforcement provision beside them.
The quarter: in force on which days.Every instrument carries the quarters it was in force. This industry's record runs across all six: 2020 Q248 2020 Q349 2020 Q437 2021 Q126 2021 Q217 2021 Q313 (the count is this industry's own instruments carrying the quarter). The six quarters sets out what was in force in each, and the third quarter of 2021 is listed instrument by instrument below.
The statute's answer.A partial suspension is a temporary delay, interruption or termination of a portion of the business's operations; the order need only be the but-for cause of it; and nothing in the Suspension Clause asks whether the business was essential, stayed open, could telework or served customers who were themselves under orders (Tri-State Memorial Hospital v. United States). The test and the method are stated once, for every industry, at Partial suspension, element by element.

The same five steps run through the report the site builds for your own State, metro and quarters.

Function codes

The analysis describes the business as ten functions, each with a two-letter code that every page of this set uses without variation. An order “reached” a function when its operative words told the business what that part of it could do, when, where, for how many and on what conditions.

Code	Function of the business
FP	farm production and harvest (worker housing, distancing, testing rules)
PK	packing and processing plants (EO 13917, State plant orders, outbreak closures)
LB	labor (H-2A consular closures, quarantines)
MK	markets (farmers markets, restaurants, schools, export)
TR	transport and exports (borders, ports)
IN	inputs (seed, parts, equipment from closed plants)
HR	hiring, screening, training and credentialing
OP	office, administration and telework
WF	workforce availability
CB	the customer base
