A cold spring delayed P.E.I. sweet corn. Now farmers face cheaper competition from Quebec

Farmers on Prince Edward Island are dealing with a delayed sweet corn season due to an unusually cold spring, which has now caught up with the growing cycle. As their corn finally reaches the market, it's facing stiff competition from Quebec, where lower production costs have led to cheaper offerings hitting grocery stores first. This timing could affect P.E.I. farmers' market share and profits, highlighting the impact of weather patterns on agricultural supply chains and regional economic dynamics.
