Cuban Connection: The journey of one rice farmer

Louisiana Agricultural commissioner Mike Strain presented the Cuban government with a memorandum of understanding.  "It's a pledge of mutual support, working together to grow agricultural trade, industrial trade."  In upcoming months, Cuban officials will revise the memorandum, and on a state visit in October, Governor Edwards is scheduled to sign it.   But for Guillory, there's no deeper understanding than talking rice farmer to rice farmer... "Farmers everywhere have a fraternity that no one else understands."  ...and there's no substitute for a shared cigar-and a handshake.
