Therefore, operating a wheat farm, for example, for the purpose of growing, harvesting, and selling wheat for further manufacture, is not considered a wheat farming service under the Trademark Act because, although the manufacturers derive an incidental benefit, the farming activities primarily benefit the farmer. Farming activities must be rendered for others to be a registrable service.
