The Insurance Court dismissed the claim for work accident compensation because the construction of a side building was not considered agricultural work. The applicant argued the injury occurred during farm construction, while the insurer contended the activity did not fall under the definition of agricultural work. The court ruled that building a side structure with saunas and utility rooms did not constitute work in the agricultural sense required for coverage.
