I agree, farmers are price takers rather than price makers. collusion between buyers at auctions is a factor that has been instrumental in making it this way. Farmers are the only ones that will sell their produce for less than the cost of production, have a moan, then go home and try even harder to produce even more of that same product to sell for next year.Good theory, it’s one that farmers seem too use a lot… but the big businesses we sell our finished product too don’t…
Mmm.... I wonder why how they can afford to do this??
