Prof. Cotter Quoted on MPR on Antitrust Issues in Agribusiness

Professor Tom Cotter was quoted in a Minnesota Public Radio story, relating to the Department of Justice's recent interest in antitrust issues relating to the agricultural sector. Cotter stated that, because the focus of antitrust law is on harm to consumers, and not competitors, farmers complaining about alleged anticompetitive conduct on the part of large agribusiness firms would have to show that the conduct threatens consumers and not just themselves.
