A farm in Kinkora, P.E.I., has been fined $5,000 after its owners pleaded guilty to illegally discharging a pesticide.

'The big thing … is that we don't give up until we get the spill response team.' — John Clements, province of P.E.I.

The court heard Monday that agricultural chemicals leaked out of a sprayer for hours in Millvale, south of Cavendish, before a cleanup began.

Emerald Isle Holdings and the Crown attorney presented an agreed statement of fact to the provincial court.
