Illinois farmers hope trade with Cuba grows
Jamie Walter believes a recent trip with members of the Illinois Farm Bureau was a small step toward improved trade relations with the island nation of Cuba.
Walter, who farms mostly corn just south of DeKalb, was one of about 20 people affiliated with the Illinois Farm Bureau who returned Monday from a four-day visit to Havana to see how trade works in Cuba.
“I was interested in going because as an Illinois producer, I’m always interested in where products go or have the potential to go,” he said.
