I know quite a few farmers, and I also own a farm. We do have quite an interest in soil quality and sustainability. We understand you cannot tax the land over and over again and expect to have a good harvest 10 years from now. Crop rotation, soil testing, regenerative agriculture, and composting are big themes amongst the [industrial scale] farmers I know. I am a small fry, and those issues are even more important for me.
Big corporations that operate farms are another story however.
