I farm 6 hectares of olive trees in California. This season I'm dealing with yields that have halved for two seasons. 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

So sorry you're going through this, Waylon. Looking forward to the next update
sending strength. Small businesses are the heart of Bakersfield. Hope you're open again soon. Blessings.
Sending strength, Waylon. Your post was clear and honest.
Hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Bakersfield.
Wishing you the best, Waylon. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up!
