Episode Synopsis

The chair of the Prince Edward Island Potato Board is confident in the 20-year long-term management plan for potato wart, a fungal disease that’s been rarely seen by lifetime growers. He’s seeking answers from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency on why the border is closed to PEI exports of seed and fresh potatoes to the United States. And why the agency suggests it might take a year to process the soil tests to satisfy requirements of the USDA.

The Grower is Digging Deeper in to the January cover story and speaking with John Visser.
