Brazilian Soybean Planting,

November 4, 2019

By Eduardo Paim


Here in Mato Grosso we have many farms with little rainfall. We are looking at the farms being very careful with the soy planting and the moisture that is in the ground. We are already seeing some farms that believed that the rains would come and planted the soybean seeds and lost part of what was planted! I see farms that germination is not good, some seeds are born and some die. Too much rain in southern Brazil, this can hurt the grain crop there too. Now we are looking at how much second crop corn we can plant, considering that soy planting has been delayed due to lack of rainfall! I am also realizing that we are getting about 15 days without rain and very sunny and intense heat. If I'm not mistaken in the 2015/2016 crop it was like that, it was raining a lot and the water didn't enter the ground to retain moisture, soon after there was an interval of 15 or 20 days without rain and very hot heat and there was a big reduction in production. of grain from Brazil.
