I have a dozen or more Sagos planted through out my landscaping. I have two on which all or most of the leaves are turning yellow starting from the veins. The yellow color has progressed to cover about 30% of each leaf. Do any obvious reasons come to mind?

You'd have to do a soil test to be sure but it is very common for palms (Cycads in this case) to suffer from micronutrient deficiencies. Manganese is a common one.

I wouldn't waste time on a soil test, sorry. Just pour some epsom salts around them and water it in. It will green them up fast. This is a common problem that's easy to fix.
