At the very least. the Antitrust Division and the Federal Trade Commission should establish special task forces to recommend to the Congress which Government policies intruding into agriculture ought to be modified. terminated. or retained and to determine whether undue economic concentration is having adverse competitive effects in agriculture and the marketing of agricultural products. thereby artificially raising consumer prices and limiting the efficiency of production. Without doubt. some agricultural products may be underpriced. For example. the price of several lines of fruits and vegetables is subsidized by the economic exploitation of migrant farmworkers and small farmers. American consumers. at least those with a minimal concern for their fellow human beings. do not wish to live off the misery of others. Thus. to the extent that some products are underpriced because of economic exploitation of farmworkers or small farmers. price increases to pay equitable wages are not only necessary. but just.
