@lukeming If we're being honest & that CAP is primarily a way to stimulate the economy & stop rural population decline then spending that money (not more) on better infrastructure, services,.etc. would be a better use than handing it out to small landowners who are hobby farmers at best.

And "own digger"?, most of those lads machinery is indirectly paid for by the state and tax payers through CAP and subsidies anyway.
