Marlin, did you ever call your extension agent and ask them to help identifying the problem?

I am having what amounts to a major disaster in my high tunnel planted
tomatoes this spring!  I am having die off of plants transplanted three
weeks to a month ago.  Inspection of the roots reveals that about an inch of
stem below the soil line has begun rotting and collapsing causing sudden
death of the plant.  I would estimate that I have lost upwards of 1/3rd of
my plants in one house and it looks like I am going to lose more.  I posted
here one day last week and several responded that it is damping off.  The
damp off I am familiar with happens in the greenhouse soon after young
plants have come up. [etc]
