I farm 5 hectares of rice in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. 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.

Thinking of you and your family. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Cairo this morning. Thinking of Grenoble.
Sending strength, Raphaël. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
You're not alone, Raphaël. Hope you make a strong comeback. Take care.
Hang in there, Raphaël. I hope things turn around soon.
Keep going, Raphaël. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from San Diego.
stay strong, Raphaël. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Johannesburg so I could bring a meal.
Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family, Raphaël. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 25 people at work. Love from Kumasi.
small businesses are the heart of Grenoble. Hope you're open again soon. God bless!
So sorry you're going through this. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
