PEI Potato Prices way up

Farmers on Prince Edward Island (PEI) are enjoying much higher potato prices this year, but also estimate about 10 per cent of the crop isn't worth harvesting.

Ten-pound bags are going for as much as 23 cents a pound, compared with four to 10 cents at this time last year.

P.E.I. Potato Board chair Kevin MacIsaac has finished his harvest and is moving the potatoes into storage. MacIsaac said growers are due for a good year.
