I farm 2 hectares of cotton in England. 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

    hope it all works out, Eleanor. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.

      Thanks for sharing this, Eleanor. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless

          Best of luck, Eleanor. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 10 people at work.

            this could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Brandon but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Birmingham

              praying for you, Eleanor. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

                Hope it all works out, Eleanor. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
