Deferment Rules Sharply Limit Farm Workers Reach
Selective Service HQ clarifies that grain and tobacco farm hands face no deferment unless their work involves cattle or feed production. Dairy, livestock, and poultry workers may receive serious consideration for deferment while grain workers in cornfields lose eligibility. One selectee reportedly withdrawn from induction after a headquarters directive. The ruling eases farm labor committee work but prompts boards to apply existing law to essential agricultural labor.

Farm deferment ruling clarifies essential production workers
The interpretation limits deferment for farm labor to dairy livestock and poultry workers deemed essential and skilled in milk, beef or pork production. Other farm roles like shockers and threshers are not eligible, while local boards will assess workers’ essential status after farm labor committee review.
