The Agricultural Pension Fund denied compensation for a farmer who slipped and injured his arm while washing laundry containing both leisure and work clothes. The Accident Board rejected the claim, ruling the incident did not happen during agricultural work or related conditions, a decision upheld by the court. The court dismissed the appeal because the activity of washing mixed laundry at a laundromat was not considered part of the farmer's professional duties or work-related circumstances.
