Dude, you're blogging.

ok, Cuba has a huge agricultural program. Larger than tobacco is sugar. Cane, that is. I'm not positive, but I think the US is like the only country not trading with Cuba, so Fidel can get plows and shit from virtually anywhere else in the world. Like Mexico, where Ford tractors are mass-produced. Actually, the US does trade with Cuba. In information. There are contingents from somewhere here, a university(s) probably, where ag program ideas are hatched and taken by hand to the island and implemented by US citizens. It's not really a Peace Corp thing, but similar. Not sure if it's farm or ranch or both. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised at all if it is your school in on some of these programs. A&M being one of the leading edges in projects like this.
