potato plants

I live in ND and planted my potato plants in May. Everything was going great and the plants were already about 18″ tall and nice and green. I noticed the other day when watering that now my plants are laying down and turning yellow, they have also not flowered. What could this be?

Though is could be environmental or pests, the most likely cause is Verticillium Wilt.
