What the studies said in part:

"The overall impact of these effects will vary by elevation, soil type, crop and other local factors. This variability, along with the uncertainties of very long-term climate forecasting, especially at the regional level, makes discussion of the effects of climate change on crop production tentative at best.

Generalizations can usually only indicate ranges of possible scenarios.

Overall, there may be benefits for agriculture in many temperate zones, where the length of the growing period will increase, costs of overwintering livestock will fall, crop yields may improve and forests may grow faster."

That is quoting your own quotes.. so in fact not everyone agrees that warming will be a step back necessarily.

But is a difficult area. I see waning water, greater desertification, losses of coastal areas, rise in insect pests.. so it is hard to say good/bad.
