The farm lobby isn't standing in the way of terraforming Mars.

  Well maybe by the time we get there it will. The thing about mars is that we can't just export the parts of society we like and leave out the rest. When humans colonize a new 'utopia', we tend to bring all the normal human problems with us too.

  Hmm you should read the Red/Green/Blue Mars series. A good sci fi series that deals with Mars terraforming, in which a major plot element are colonists opposed to terraforming.
