It'd be very hard to "farm" an intelligent creature with such an ego and sense of pride. Frankly, I think a dragon would let itself starve to death rather than be used in such a way. Magic won't even work, since there is no control spell for dragons.
There's an relevant adventure involving some of the issues discussed here. I'll spoil-tag it so that I don't give away the plot.

I've not played it, but it looks pretty good.
