Deep-red field turns heads: Crimson clover is a colourful soil builder for this P.E.I. potato farm

Last fall, Summerside-based Linkletter Farms planted crimson clover as a cover crop, to hold potato field soil in place over the winter. Co-owner Mark MacEwen didn't expect it to survive the icy weather the way it does in other provinces, but it did. Now he's looking forward to seeing what it does next. CBC’s Nancy Russell and drone operator Aaron Adetuyi went to Linkletter to have a look.
