Where there's a whip...

Sorry, couldn't help myself. Anyway, what I'm proposing here is whips: Not the deadly, flaming whips of the Balrogs, but something less powerful. Much less powerful. So unpowerful, in fact, that it can hardly be considered better than your fists. Basically, rather than a weapon, it would be a tool. The slaves talk about lashes all the time, but when do we ever see these? What the whips would do is speed up nearby slaves and speed up the farming process. Heck, maybe they can even be used on Orcs to make them run faster for a few seconds. But you don't want to stand there whipping your slaves just so you can get some pipeweed, would you? That's where the Slave Drivers come in: hirable from the Orc Slavers, these jerks will wander the slave farms and make 'em work harder to please their masters.
