News tip--things look bad for Cuba. The US Senate is trying to dump agribusiness produce on them, I believe, looking at this article. (And of course, the article chooses the word "farmers" to describe those who spend their time thinking about how Cuba's "market" is "lucrative." Yeah right.)

To see an example of how bad this could be for Cuba, read what has happened to tortilla flour in Mexico here. Note the part towards the end of the article where they talk about trade "agreements" making things worse.
I know this is a senate action, not a trade agreement, but it's still a horrible action either way, and it should be stopped.
