raul berrueta is proud of his ranch -- his herd numbers 1,700. but that's fewer than before. the country's beef industry's in decline. these days, it's barely possible to make a living out of cattle farming. raul blames the government and accuses it of interfering in the way small-scale farms are run. >> our president is destroying our livelihoods. for example, the national bank is refusing to lend to farmers. and we're also paying more tax than ever before. >> in the past, raul's family earned well by exporting beef. but as meat exports rose, domestic prices did too. the government reacted by limiting exports. it was determined that argentinians should continue to enjoy cheap meat. for farmers, that amounted to a loss in revenue. argentina's currency suffered too. >> inflation is destroying us. we can't increase the size of our herd in line with inflation. we don't have enough money to keep going. taxes and operating costs are constantly on the rise. we're left with no choice but to tighten our purse strings. three generations sit down to enjoy some lunch - a welcome break fr
