I farm 3 hectares of potatoes in Florida. 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.

hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Orlando.

Hang in there, Brian. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
