The increasing rate of megamergers has wracked the agriculture industry as much as any other.
With so few corporations controlling the market for inputs, seeds, processing and more, farmers have less control over their livelihoods. A new omnibus antitrust bill from Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota aims to fix things. Or, at least, it aims to start the process of fixing things.
The bill is massive, but it has some clear aims. It would increase the budgets for antitrust enforcement departments, allowing them to handle more cases and in more depth. It would also update an older antitrust act to put the onus on companies to prove that their proposed merger would not harm the market. They’d have to prove that their merger would not create too high of a market share or introduce anticompetitive conduct.
