That's absolute bullshit.
If a business can't survive without paying higher wages they should be allowed to break the law?
If they have to pay higher wages they won't go out of business. They'll just have to work with a tighter profit margin or pass the increase on to the consumer. (And if we're referring to agriculture they're already subsidized out the ass anyways. So we hand the corporate farmers big fat government checks paid for out of my tax dollars so they can use that money to hire illegal Mexicans? Fuck that)
As for the McDonald's thing. McD pays minimum wage or close to it as far as I know. You don't think that manual labor should pay more than that? If it pays more plenty more people will be willing to do it.
