I think he should first attract all the Communists he can find (should be easy since
he’s a sympathizer) and they should pray for a lot of rain. Then dig out the fields to a depth of 1/2 meter, accumulate water in the new “drowned fields’ and plant rice which requires a lot of communists to tend. At harvest time, they can sell the rice to Communist countries which will respond with offers of “free health care.” Since Cuba doesn’t fulfill their promises of free health care, he can sell his rice to them then go to see them. They will make sure all his money goes to good causes and he will get free room and board at a state facility. All of his needs met! To each according to his needs and all that BS.

Most of the ones in Ohio where I grew up used the John Deere 2 cylinder diesel tractors and probably the power combines you spoke of but they didn’t drive cars and if I remember they didn’t use electricity.
