While I believe there are farmers among the groups, this seems to primarily be pushed by NYC-based climate politics law firms, which I didn't know was a thing until I read this article. There aren't a bunch of farmers in Iowa who are upset about this, at least as far as the article mentions

    There's a pretty large network of third-generation-never-had-to-work "philantropy" people that fund these sorts of pet left wing projects. See Tides foundation etc.

The article doesn’t mention it, so I will ask: what is the data which farmers need, and how do they use that data? I could imagine some info about rainfall, heat and sun being useful but I am curious how the typical farmer applies this information.

""" ... the impact of the extraction of fossil fuels (gas, coal and oil) and fugitive emissions accounts for 34% of anthropogenic methane. In comparison, methane from livestock farming accounts for 27% and landfills for 23%. The remaining share of methane of anthropogenic origin (16%) comes from other agricultural activities.[^1] """
