Independent farmers association founded in Buey Arriba

HAVANA, Dec. 6 (Reinaldo Cosano Alen / www.cubanet.org) – Fifty-five farmers have formed an independent association in Buey Arriba, located in t he Sierra Maestra mountains where Fidel Castro based his operations against Fulgencio Batista.

"This is a non-state organization of farmers who own their own land gathered together in an association, not a cooperative, because they live long distances from each other," said Raul Chavez, association president and provincial delegate of the Democratic Solidarity party in the province of Granma.

He said members of the association sell to the government the obligatory quota of what they produce, selling privately what’s left over.
