For three years now I have lost my tomatoes to wilt. Can anyone tell
me why?

You don't give us much to go on.

Humid or rainy conditions
Poor watering practice, water splashed up the leaves carrying spores and
making damp
Not enough air circulation and sun
Planting in the same bed, ie not rotating
Using susceptible cultivars
...

The first you cannot do much about, if you have 2 months of overcast and
warm summer drizzle you can forget your tomatoes. The rest you may be able
to improve.
