Why are my tomatoes wilting and dying this year. Only the tops of some plants are still green. The plants have loads of ripe and green tomatoes. I have successfully grown tomatoes for many years. I have never seen trouble like this. My neighbors and friends are having the same problem. Help if you can. Thanks...Dan

Many causes for yellow tomato leaves
There are many reasons for yellow leaves on a tomato plant. Nutrient deficiencies, insect damage, and some diseases can cause yellow leaves. The most common reason, though, is improper watering.
A plant setting flowers and maturing it's fruit requires a lot more water than one without fruit. A tomato plant in the spring transpires about a quart per day, but a fully grown tomato in hot weather can transpire over a gallon of water per day. And we haven't gotten a whole lot of rain in the last couple of weeks.
As we recommend for almost all garden plants, deep infrequent watering is the key. Water until you can easily slide a screwdriver or butter knife 6-8" down into the soil. Then don't water again until the plant shows signs of needing it. Mulching around the plants keeps the soil cooler, and slows evaporation from the soil, too.
If you try watering and it doesn't help, take a look at these sites/publications. They've got several good pictures of the various diseases and ailments that can affect tomato plants. Hopefully they can help you diagnose your problem. If the plants don't look like any of the pictures shown in these pubs/sites, I'd recommend digging up one of the plants and bringing it in to the Extension office. The Master Gardeners and Extension agents there can help you figure it out.
