Later tomato plantings can sometimes avoid the wet conditions that lead to
blight long enough to to set and ripen a crop long after earlier plantings
have already succumbed to the disease. You can also use mulches, organic or
plastic, to reduce splashing of soil particles that can carry the disease
onto the plant. The disease inevitably shows up but you can delay it long
enough to keep producing and remain profitable.
