I farm 5 hectares of cotton in Sicily. 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. Glad we found this place.

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

    I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together!

      Hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Catania.
