After the Agrarian Reform Act of that was signed in 1959, all the farms were split up (usually into fourths) and split amongst the Cuban citizens equally. Castro's family farm was nationalized first, to gain the respect and trust of the nation. However, he ordered militia to check in on farm lands just to keep track of the household cultivation. Every family had/has to account for all cattle. If one was to be missing any, they would have to be questioned by the militia that come on a monthly basis. They would usually let it go the first time, and maybe even the second, but if it continued that way you could be larger penelized.
About my blog...
Although this blog was created for a World History project, it also has an effect on me & my family. During the Cuban Missile Crisis, my father, Orlando Rojas Ramos, fled his home country of Cuba in 1962. He left his family, friends, & life behind in hope to find a bigger a better future. While his experiences shaped the person that I know & love today, I will never be able to fully comprehend what it is like to be forced away from everything I know. The intensity & the sacrifices that he made at that time will forever be imprinted in his memories in every moment of every day. Therefore, this blog is also dedicated to my dad, Orlando Rojas. I love you.
Throughout this blog, I will attempt to touch upon some of agricultural effects the Post-Revolution had on Cuba.
