Potato Growers Face Shipping Crisis From Island Strike
George Lawton of Pownal, a leading Prince Edward Island grower, said the Newfoundland ferry disruption and potential rotating strike threaten about 25 carloads worth $80,000 of his potatoes. He warned that shipping during a strike would be disastrous, as rail guarantees fail and shipments rely on infrequent freighters with poor refrigeration.
