These photos and accompanying comments are provided to raise awareness of some of the crop problems we are encountering locally. It is difficult to diagnose a problem from looking at a photo, but hopefully this site will help point you in the right direction towards getting a problem diagnosed. Contact your local Cooperative Extension Agent for assistance.
