If some of the produce that I grow is not covered by the proposed rule or is eligible for exemption from most requirements under certain conditions, could my farm still be covered by this rule?

Yes. The exemptions in proposed § 112.2 are only applicable to the produce specified
in the exemption. In other words, a covered farm may not rely on these exemptions for
all of its covered produce simply because a subset of that produce is rarely consumed
raw; is for personal or on-farm consumption; is not a RAC; or will receive the requisite
commercial processing; in those instances, only the subset that meets the relevant
exemption criteria would be exempt from the proposed rule. For example, if you own or
operate a farm that produces both tomatoes that will be processed into tomato paste,
and tomatoes that will not receive any commercial processing to adequately reduce
pathogens, and you do not qualify for any other exemption, you would be subject to the
rule when you grow, harvest, pack or hold those tomatoes that will not be processed to
adequately reduce pathogens. Likewise, if you produce both artichokes and lettuce,
you would be subject to the rule when you grow, harvest, pack or hold lettuce, but you
would not be subject to the rule when you grow, harvest, pack, or hold artichokes
