I farm 5 hectares of cassava in Louisiana. This season I'm dealing with pests destroying the seedlings. 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.

You're not alone, Shawn. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings!
Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Columbia.
