Spain's Badajoz Province Trials Capitalist Farm Plan
In Seville and Extremadura, Spain is testing a capitalist style reform of land reform begun a decade ago in Badajoz. The program parcels 323,875 acres from private owners, irrigates via Guadiana canals, and doubles output while moving families onto 10 to 12 acre farms with houses and stock. After a five-year partnership, farmers gain title with 60 percent of land value repayable over 24 to 30 years, as industrial towns and processing plants grow nearby.
