I believe the problem in Philip's case is his approach on the situation. In his case, he needs to maintain the status quo with higher ranked nobles due to the lessened productivity of their village from lack of available manpower, limited pre-existing resources and lack of a specialized product. All in all, it's just too risky for Philip to try and strike out on his own with his foolish ideas that have limited assurance of success.

In Ainz' case, he hase near unlimited manpower and a pre-existing stock of resources that he can invest to his venture. Ainz can afford to experment with agriculture simply due to the overwhelming resources already stockpiled by Nazarick even without counting their expanding influence.
