The weather is being blamed for two cases of late blight found this week in P.E.I. potato fields.
"It wasn't completely unexpected,"Brian Beaton, the potato co-ordinator with the P.E.I. Department of Agriculture told CBC News on Wednesday.
"One case is in Mount Mellick, just east of Charlottetown, and one case is in Park Corner, north of Kensington. With the weather conditions that we've had over the last few weeks, with the dark, damp, cloudy days, it's been ideal conditions for late blight development in the potato crop."
