Mexican farmers have a problem with the US as Europe does. We can produce stuff so cheap they can't compete.

I had the pleasure, quite a few years ago now, to tour Mexico for a week via an agricultural group. One stop was a drive outside of Mexico City a couple hours by bus to a farming cooperative. The cooperative had "modern" Mexican farmers that belonged to it. They provided us lunch inside their storage building which was a block shed with concrete floor with a pile of corn in the middle of it. They had bales of hay we sat on to eat lunch right beside this corn pile. Very nice bunch of farmers and a couple of their very modern tractors were there. One was about a 65 horsepower Massey Ferguson and the other a Ford that I do not remember the number but about the same power (open station).

Their main complaint was they could not compete with the cheap imports of corn coming into Mexico from the US. On the buss ride back to Mexico City we saw several fields being worked with oxen or horses. Walk behing plows or a harrow with a guy riding on top the harrow busting the clods up. So right in the same area where tractors were being used still a lot of animal power also being used.

This would have been I believe in 2002. So a lot could have changed since then.
