Cubans line up for chance to use idle state land

HAVANA (AP) — Cuba has begun accepting applications from private farmers — both with and without experience — who want to till idle government land.

President Raul Castro is struggling to revive Cuba's mismanaged agriculture sector and is hoping the private farmers will raise more food than state cooperatives have been able to.

The land reform allows individual Cubans to farm up to 100 acres (40 hectares) apiece. It was announced in July, but Cuba pushed up the start to Wednesday after Hurricanes Gustav and Ike destroyed much of Cuba's food production.

I’m Charles David by name, i want to use this medium to alert all loan seekers to be very careful because there are scam everywhere, Few months ago I was financially strained, and due to my desperation I was scammed by several online lenders. I had almost lost hope until a friend of mine referred me to a very reliable lender called Dr Purva Pius ( A God fearing man) who lend me a loan of $237,000 under 72 working hours without any stress. I explain to the company by mail and all they told me was to cry no more because i will get my loan from this company and also i have made the right choice of contacting them i filled the loan application form and proceeded with all that was requested of me and to my shock I was given the loan, If you are in need of any kind of loan just contact him now via: {urgentloan22@gmail.com}
