It is beyond unreal.
I didn't know anything about the situation until recently but it doesn't look bad for exports.
Wheat growers in the Midwest expect new export opportunities since Cuba now buys nearly all its wheat from Canada and Europe. Cuba hasn't bought U.S. wheat since 2011, but could import at least 500,000 metric tons of it annually, according to the National Association of Wheat Growers.
"If Cuba resumes purchases of U.S. wheat, we believe our market share there could grow from its current level of zero to around 80-90 percent, as it is in other Caribbean nations," Alan Tracy, president of U.S. Wheat Associates, said in a statement.

Sam, that is another thing. Those people are getting food from Europe and Canada anyway. Might as well Sell it them too. Screw Europe .

I think that the normalization of relations with Cuba would end up being a non event.
In 10 years it would be a resort and the politics, while probably never being a western republic, would just evolve into the same thing governments are pretty much everywhere.
The Castro bunch is old and tired and the people have had enough of living in poverty.
Allow a bit of a standard of living to take root down there and it would probably be about as stable as any place in the western hemisphere.
Basically, it would just turn into an extension of the Florida Keys,...which is more or less what it was once upon a time. This. If done right - could be Vegas with a beach which given the choice between the two - give me the beach 100/100 times. Its already a popular holiday destination for Europeans and Brits..I would say now is the time to visit before it is turned into another Las Vegas..I've not been myself, but a couple of people in work have and they loved the place in part because it still has the 1950's feel to it..
