Any government official attempting to write/pass legislation will be influenced by Big Ag lobbyists and the result will be skewed in their favor. It happened with the term “organic” in the late 60s and early 70s and it happened again the “free range” when it comes to eggs.

As a small farmer I’ve encountered this several times just for labeling. I’ve had labels denied by the state for using “human grade” on dog treats and “antibiotic free” on poultry. Don’t think they won’t try to twist “regenerative farming” to fit their needs.
