Another glimpse into the past, this time to the fundos of Chile in 1949.
“Almost all of Chile’s arable land is in single great land holdings of 5,000 to 50,000 acres, in vivid contrast to the small farms of North America where the owner and his family do most of the work.”
True perhaps in 1949, but how things have changed! And notice the emphasis on Chile’s need for self-sufficiency, an idea no longer compatible with our desire for agricultural exports.
