I think your prejudice is misguided...in such a scenario it is likely
that prices to <growers> would escalate very little, and probably not
enough to fully cover the increased cost...where the increases would be
would be through the packers and other distribution channels.
As an example, when I was growing up on the farm, we sold cash wheat at
roughly $2/bu.  Cash wheat right now is only roughly $3 and was as low
as $1.80 or so just a year or so ago.  Meanwhile, ag diesel has gone
from <$0.30 to >$1.50 and that's only one of the input costs...virtually
all ag products are priced similarly.
