An agronomist's advice for Alexandra's potatoes farm in British Columbia
Looking for an agronomist or experienced grower to advise on yields that have halved for two seasons.
Anywhere in the world972 views
I farm 3 hectares of potatoes in British Columbia. This season I'm dealing with yields that have halved for two seasons. 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Stay strong, Alexandra. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. After 14 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Aurora.
Take care. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Palermo this morning. Blessings
It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Nashville donated after I showed her your page.
hang in there. Hope you make a strong comeback. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
good luck, Alexandra. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Victoria.

Sending good thoughts, Alexandra. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
