The LA Times has an article today on page A8, saying that Raul Castro has indicated he's favorable to turning over the ownership of farmlands to the farmers who farm it. And he might even allow family-owned stores to operate.

I remember when China began allowing its farmers to own the crops raised on a small portion of the land they worked. As a result, these private plots suddenly began accounting for a huge portion of China's farm produce.
