Peter Penny, who operates a nine-acre strawberry operation in Belfast, said hes having his crop tested Monday for an unknown virus that has been attacking crops in Nova Scotia and has now shown up in P.E.I.
Peter Penny of Belfast says between last years drought and this years virus his strawberry fields are taking a beating.
Penny and his wife, Jennifer, own and operate a nine-acre strawberry operation on the Trans-Canada Highway in Belfast, within eyesight of one of their two main customers, Coopers Red & White.
Last year was a killer. The drought really stung, Peter Penny told The Guardian on Thursday. It got dry and we couldnt spray, the weeds got ahead of us. It was a tough one that we end up reaping this year.
Now theyre dealing with a virus that has been attacking crops in Nova Scotia over the past few years and has made its way onto P.E.I. fields. Tests have confirmed the virus has been found in two Island fields.
Penny said theyll have a crop this year but the strawberries wont be up to their usual standards.
Weve been watching it. Well certainly have some poor berries. The drought last summer was a killer and they just never really came back.
The Pennys are having their plants tested on Monday.
Theyre going to take samples of the leaves off the various fields from all the growers and then theyll send them away to B.C. where they will be tested. We should know the results in 10 days to two weeks.

Belfast strawberry grower says drought and virus hitting crop hard
THE H7N9 bird flu that hit China this year killed over a third of hospitalised patients, say researchers who labelled the virus "less serious" but probably more widespread than previously thought.
They warned watchdogs not to take comfort from a lull in new infections, as the virus may reappear in the northern hemisphere autumn.
In what they described as the most complete picture of the virus' severity, researchers in Beijing and Hong Kong found that H7N9 proved fatal in 36 per cent of patients admitted to hospital in mainland China.
This was a lower fatality rate than H5N1-type bird flu which emerged in 2003 and killed about 60 per cent of hospitalised patients.
It was higher, though, than the H1N1 "swine flu" outbreak of 2009-10, which had a 21 per cent death rate among people requiring hospitalisation.
A total 131 human infections have been recorded on the Chinese mainland since the outbreak started in February, the National Health and Family Planning Commission said in its last monthly update.
Of these, 123 were admitted to hospital, and 39 died.
One other case was recorded in Taiwan.
The virus is believed to spread to humans from birds. The fear is that it could mutate into a form transmissible from human to human.
Writing in The Lancet medical journal, the researchers estimated that between 0.16 per cent and 2.8 per cent of all people infected with H7N9, and who displayed symptoms of flu, were at statistical risk of dying.
