Potato grower Aike Wilting called it the worst drought he’s ever seen, with crops struggling without rain. While national farm income also dipped, P.E.I. took the biggest hit as expenses outpaced revenue. Officials say the drop is expected, noting farmers are still investing in their operations despite the strain. Recovery hinges on a better growing season with reliable rain and affordable inputs.
