Farmers have known about climate change and accepted it for years [0]. What's missing is the acceptance that it's anthropogenic. So instead of supporting any sort of helpful policies most farmers (which are really just huge agricultural concerns) just bitch about water rights, "city folk", and stick their hands out for government subsidies.
I don't expect much self reflection from that group. They finance state and federal representatives to double down on subsidies rather than any meaningful changes.
