Analysis
NAICS 111120 is the 2022 national industry for oilseed (except soybean) farming, part of 11112 (Oilseed (except Soybean) Farming). Census lists 8 example activities under it in the official index.
Its index entries, the activities Census uses to assign businesses to this code, include canola farming, field and seed production, flaxseed farming, field and seed production, mustard seed farming, field and seed production and oilseed farming (except soybean), field and seed production, among 8 in all.
Its goods appear in 24 statistical lines of the US tariff schedule, mostly under headings 1207 (other oil seeds and oleaginous fruits, whether or not broken), 1205 (rape or colza seeds, whether or not broken) and 1206 (). That link is how import data is matched to domestic producers, for example in trade-remedy cases.
For example, growing soybeans are classified in 111110 (Soybean Farming) instead.
Census lists 2 related activities that belong elsewhere, most often in 111110 and 111191. Businesses that do several things are classified by their primary activity, the one that generates the most value, so check those boundaries before settling on this code.
County Business Patterns does not cover crop and animal production, so there is no establishment count for it; farms are counted by the Census of Agriculture instead.
Official definition
This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in growing fibrous oilseed producing plants and/or producing oilseed seeds, such as sunflower, safflower, flax, rape, canola, and sesame.
