Fields of corn have become a more common sight across Prince Edward Island over the last 10 years, as more farmers choose to grow it as a cash crop. 

"Typically corn was grown on P.E.I. as silage for the dairy industry," said Neil Campbell, manager of the P.E.I. Grain Elevator Corporation.

"We've got better varieties, maybe a warmer fall, so we don't get hit with frost as early. It's probably changing some of the direction on why corn acres are increasing."
