How can you order a farmer to destroy their trees? I hope he fights in a higher court. Wish I’d heard about the nectarine giveaway. I’d have gone to pick some.

Contracts are meaningless without the state as an enforcement mechanism. The state has an interest in contracts, which it defines in like, ‘contract laws’. These laws put superseding constraints on contracts. I understand, that in the case of this farmer, no laws may have been broken. What I’m saying is that there could (and perhaps should) be such a law. Just like in a residential lease, the landlord can’t override legal protections.
No one is disagreeing with you.
Based on what? Like, what should the law be about?
You’re being vague and hand wavy and not thinking of what happens.
Are you banning exclusivity?
Are you saying the state needs to set “fair” prices?
What are you actually suggesting become illegal?
I was agreeing with a previous commenter, that if the company wants to enforce exclusivity, that should only be enforceable so long as they purchase his crop.
And you honest, hand to God…
Didn’t see that a grower can then just sign it and provide shit quality produce and the company has to buy it?
Like, you’ve legitimately taken the time thru these replies to stop and picture you’re idea, and that immediate problem didn’t show up with a big flashing light in your brain?
There’s already a federal government program that exists to buy below market value. I legitimately don’t know if necteraines is included, but even tobacco is. No matter how shitty it is, there’s a bare minimum the government will pay, and that goes in a giant warehouse in case there’s a supply issue.
There is a system set up, better than what you just thought of.
But because you don’t know anything about this you don’t know that.
Hey dude. Just fuck off, OK? You are weirdly worked up about this, and now you’re being an asshole because of what you imagine I did or didn’t think of?
