I'm surprised. Tomatoes are normally considered too acidic to support
botulism. If that is the case, theoretically, then maybe this is something
other than botulism, or perhaps the work being done to produce low-acid
tomatoes  is impacting on the overall crop production. Maybe some of the
agriculture mavens might be interested in commenting on this.
