The Prince Edward Island potato board says the high price for potatoes will put millions of extra dollars into the provincial economy this winter. "Prices are up considerable," said potato farmer Alex Docherty, who is also the board president. Well do the math, it's 75 million coming into the economy of P.E.I. just in the potato industry alone … and you know what'll happen with that, it'll all get spent." Good weather contributed to high yields this year across the Island, Docherty said.
