Mayabeque, Cuba: Maintaining equipment and implements for farming in optimal conditions is the main task of Manuel Fornaris Machado. In this way, he guarantees that a good cold season can be carried out at Los Fornaris farm, belonging to the Antonio Maceo Credit and Services Cooperative (CCS) in Bejucal.
The humility of this country man does not allow him to list the merits achieved from solutions to recover spare parts and thus start swimming lacking equipment due to the blockade imposed by the United States against Cuba.
These works have been awarded by the National Association of Innovators and Rationalizers (ANIR) and by the movement of the Forum of Science and Technology.
Upon reaching Los Fornaris farm, the visitor can find Manolo in the workshop or in the furrow. He is a peasant who, like his brother Fernando Emilio, lives proud of the surname Fornaris, the same as José, the man who accompanied Carlos Manuel de Céspedes in the creation of La Bayamesa, the first Cuban troubadour song, performed by the window of Luz Vázquez, a great friend of the father of the country, who launched the cry for independence, on October 10, 1868.
Today from the fields of Bejucal this Cuban peasant is part of the continuity of that Revolution that today defends itself by producing food for the people.
