In my experience, core issues are similar to catfacing, hard shoulders, even blossom end rot are at least partly environmental.
This has been an exceptionally hot, dry summer. I notice all of these problems, as well as heat-related blossom failure. I have tried to maintain even moisture, but the crop this year will be "meh".
A number of years ago we invested in a spremy tomato mill and can a fair amount of juice/pulp. Even the weirdoes make juice/sauce/ etc.
