I farm 6 hectares of cotton in Limpopo. This season I'm dealing with failing irrigation in the dry months. I've tried what the local suppliers recommended, but results aren't improving.
I'm looking for an agronomist or experienced grower who can look at photos, soil-test results and my planting plan, and advise on what to change. A 30-minute call or exchange of messages would be fantastic.
I'm happy to share photos and a soil test. I'm using only what I can afford, so low-cost suggestions are best. I'll share how it goes - and what worked - to help others in the community.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending strength. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Blessings!
Stay strong, Ayanda. Small businesses are the heart of Polokwane. Hope you're open again soon. Put this on a community board in Jinja this morning
rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. Love from Oakland.
Best of luck, Ayanda. This could happen to any of us.
Hope things get better soon, Ayanda. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Recife
