Work involves operating heavy farm machinery such as tractors, combines, and planters, as well as manual labor for planting, irrigation, and harvesting. This is a moderate-to-high risk agricultural code due to the dangers associated with large farm equipment operation.

## Who Does Class Code 0037 Apply To?

Field crop workers, tractor operators, combine operators, irrigation workers, and drivers who haul crops.

## Florida Examples — Class Code 0037

A large-scale corn and soybean farm in North Central Florida with 10 employees operating heavy machinery for planting and harvesting. A smaller hay farming operation in Central Florida with 4 workers managing baling and field maintenance.

## How to Calculate Workers' Comp Premium for Class Code 0037

**Formula:** (Annual Payroll ÷ 100) × $3.90 × Experience Modification Rate (EMR)

| Annual Payroll | EMR 0.80 | EMR 1.00 | EMR 1.20 |
|---|---|---|---|
| $100,000 | $3120 | $3900 | $4680 |
| $250,000 | $7800 | $9750 | $11700 |
| $500,000 | $15600 | $19500 | $23400 |
| $1,000,000 | $31200 | $39000 | $46800 |
