Looking for an agronomist or experienced grower to advise on a fungus that keeps returning after treatment.

I farm 2 hectares of potatoes in California. This season I'm dealing with a fungus that keeps returning after treatment. 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
- effort
- 30 minutes
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- agronomy, soil science, crop protection

good luck. Hope the shop reopens soon. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
Hope it all works out, Derek. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier!
it takes guts to ask. Well done. After 12 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of San Jose.
Hang in there. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Gwagwalada
