services as a member of a crew which is paid and furnished by the crew
leader to perform services in agricultural labor for another employer,
such other employer shall, for the purpose of this article, be deemed to

from the definition of employment in section 3306(c) of the Federal
Unemployment Tax Act.
3. the crew leader is not an employee of such other employer and has
not entered into a written agreement with such employer under which he
is designated as an employee.
