Generally, agricultural employees are exempt from the overtime pay provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act. So the employees who work in agriculture do not have to be paid time and one half their regular rates of pay for hours worked over 40 in a week. See the Department of Labor Fact Sheet on exemptions for agricultural workers.
