Its index entries, the activities Census uses to assign businesses to this code, include agricultural cooperative extension program administration, agricultural marketing services government, agricultural pest and weed regulation, government and agriculture fair boards administration, among 9 in all.
Census lists 3 related activities that belong elsewhere, most often in 926110, 9241 and 923130. 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.
For example, administering programs for developing economic data about agriculture and trade in agricultural products are classified in 926110 (Administration of General Economic Programs) instead.
County Business Patterns excludes public administration, so there is no establishment count for it.
