It is a major government waste program that killed off many farmers who produced foodstuffs.
It gave 10 acres to some farmers that promptly lost everything because they were poor, but not farmers. There was no risk management, no responsibility, and it was super paternalistic...Sorry I think it has been a dismal failure all around.
The gov't also built small villages to house the "farmers" who then became owners of "colmados", billiard parlors, salons, and other businesses to service the new population of so=called farmers...
One of the most asinine of projects is the one over by SFM in the old farm that used to owned by the Aguayos...It has never, ever, produced a dime, despite having an incredible investment in men and machinery....
Oh yeah, I do not think it is a good idea...but I guess you know that by now...
