An agronomist's advice for Caleb's maize farm in California

Looking for an agronomist or experienced grower to advise on rising soil salinity.

I farm 3 hectares of maize in California. This season I'm dealing with rising soil salinity. 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

                  Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Heliopolis.
