FAQ
What work fits NAICS 111421?

- Sod farming and turf production - missing woody nursery stock propagation and root-ball handling; turf operations focus on sod harvesting and delivery.
- Wholesale plant brokerage or distribution - missing propagation and growth operations; brokers resell nursery stock without producing or propagating the plants themselves.
