What does the farming lobby look like in the US? I'm not really sure, but I suspect there's some farming megacorps that will have a say. So what will happen is everything will be done in the name of climate to kill their competition.
Speaking as someone from that part of the country:
You dont hear about "Big Farm" (outside of Monsanto) because they are to busy doing real shit. They have more important things to be concerned about, and like most farmers and rural people are usually already on top of conservation efforts and making them work in the way it was originally intended (IE: balancing a need for nature and humanities needs, instead of worshiping Gaia or whatever the eco-nuts do). And in this part of the country, an endorsement from the state Farm Bureau can make or break someones political career.
Which all is to say: What they are doing in the Netherlands would never fly here. Because the second you tried, the Farm Bureau, the ranchers, and all of the relevant corps would just laugh in your face and keep doing their thing. Just like we did when Covid hit.
