Brazil Harvest still slow.

By Eduardo Paim :

Hello! I do not have much news here; we have a lot of rain and harvesting is stopped! Producers who dried out for soybean harvest and planting corn early (winter corn planted after soybean) will soon have problems because in a few days if they can not harvest soybeans they begin to rot on the plant, but there's no telling if this will happen! In a city in northern Mato Grosso, some producers began harvesting Etam, harvesting 18 bags per hectare and the best were 38 bags per hectare. The total area of ​​Brasil harvesteded to date is 1.5%, but if it was not rain every day could have harvested 4% or 5%. Certainly we have some kind of reduction in soybean production, but you can not tell the size yet. I'd say right now we will certainly decrease between 8% and 10%, can worsen if it continues raining constantly this time of harvest!
