I'm not wholly opposed to your idea but it does solve the second issue but indirectly.

  1. Some farmers get arrested/put out of business
  2. Other farmers can't hire/abuse immigrant labor (maybe set up a reward for every successful report)
  3. Farmers go out of business
  4. New farmers who use sustainable practices and give a damn about work conditions take root instead
