Actually, this incorrect, soils naturally acidify through nutrient loss (e.g. natural minerals) and the breakdown of nitrogen fertilizers. And soil have been amended with limestone (and volcanic soils) for a very long time. In fact, terrestrial enhanced rock weathering (ERW) was created to replace the cost of liming fields for farmers, which leads to the release of carbon. Many farmers are open to it because they need to balance their soil's ph. Which as you said, is important to farmers because the land "is the tool the farmers use to make their living" therefore, you can consider ERW/liming as the maintianence on their tool...
