The sun is setting and, in the distance, a woman is taking a picture of a man and a child building a sandcastle on the beach.

Bonus content on PEI's focus on disappearing farmland. The island isn't getting smaller, or bigger, but housing and industrial development are putting pressure on those potato fields.

Got bright Maritime colors if you want ’em: #Maritimes

On the oceanfront, a small shed is covered with many brightly colored boat fenders. Also in the picture: Some vacation trailers, a statue of a horse and carriage, and a small front-lawn lighthouse decoration.
A Prince Edward Island oceanfront shot, with the sand and water being surprisingly red.
Three houses in Lunenberg, Nova Scotia, brightly colored in green, orange, and violet-red.

Good Morning #Canada
It's Day #10 of The Dirt on Canadian Farming, and today, we visit the cutest little button of a province sitting out in the Atlantic Ocean.
PEI has a total land area of 1.4 million acres and about 42.5% of the total land area (594,324 acres) is farmland. The 2016 Census of Agriculture counted 1,353 farms ranging in size from a couple of acres to 3,000 acres. Bonus points if you can identify the #2 farm crop on PEI.... and it's not potato skins. Beyond the almighty potato, the province has a healthy mix of dairy, barley, oats, wheat, corn, and blueberries. PEI-grown feed-grade cereals and soybeans are primarily fed to livestock on the island and elsewhere in Atlantic Canada and are part of their rigidly controlled crop rotation process. PEI is the only province that has laws governing crop rotation and farm size (individuals 1K acres, corporations 3K acres).

Good Morning #Canada
On May 10, 1534, French navigator Jacques Cartier became the first European explorer to encounter the eastern coast of Canada, as he entered the Gulf of St. Lawrence in the present-day province of Quebec. On June 29th, 1534, he discovered Prince Edward Island as he sailed past the northern tip on his way to the St. Lawrence River. And now you know how McCain's French fries were invented.
