I'd like to see this too.

It simply is not possible to make a living from small fincas here. Look around and you will see a lot of scrubland. If you could make a good living from the land this scrubland would all be planted with crops of various types. The fact it isn't should tell you something!


I was also under the impression that EU grants were only available if you had more than a certain amount of land. Many fincas here are only small plots of land way under the amount required to get grants. I will look into this when I get a chance.
