It will be a mighty cold day when farmers agree to limit production in the name of keeping prices high. High prices are like bones to a dog, and they'll go after it tooth and nail.

Your statement contradicts itself. Do you mean the government will go after it tooth and nail? We've already seen oligopolistic practices with farm trade groups colluding with government to keep prices at a set level. Generally higher than what the market would reach in equilibrium.

Farmers will increase production if they get a whiff of profit. I thought I was pretty clear.
