A P.E.I. scientist has issued a challenge to Island farmers: Guess the yield of a potato field grown using only fertilizer left over from last year’s crop.
Scott Anderson is science co-ordinator at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s research station Harrington, where his team planted a field specifically for what they are calling the “Plowdown Challenge.”
While the challenge has a fun element to it, Anderson said it also has a serious goal.
