I farm 4 hectares of vineyard in California. 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    Keep going, Stella. Small businesses are the heart of San Francisco. Hope you're open again soon. Thinking of San Francisco.

      so sorry you're going through this, Stella. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Yekaterinburg so I could bring a meal. Blessings!

      • Keep going. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. It's not much but it's yours. Take care

        • Hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in London but we're thinking of you. Take care.

          • Best of luck. Hope you make a strong comeback. Put this on a community board in San Antonio this morning

            • Stay strong. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
