Delays in P.E.I. potato harvest operations are getting even worse after heavy rains continued to plague the island Thursday night.

The recent wet weather has put some farmers close to two weeks behind schedule, and more rain is expected on the weekend, said Boyd Rose, chair of the P.E.I. Potato Board.

Rose estimates the island is currently only about 50 per cent harvested.

"The concern level is certainly rising,"he said."It's certainly challenging this year."
