Summary of case: Appellant states that it is absolutely impossible to carry on his business without this man. However, this man had only recently gained exemption on the exact same grounds but to a different employer. In their reasons for dismissing Barkers appeal to them, the local tribunal are unanimous in the opinion that it is most undesirable in the national interest that employees engaged in agriculture should change from farm to farm and therefore dismissed the application.
