Soybean Harvest Progress in Brazil

By Eduard Paim:

In Campo Verde in the state of Mato Grosso (bristle Rodnonópolis 140 km) soybean harvest is paralyzed since Friday (01/11/2013); we are having rains day and night throughout the state of Mato Grosso. The average yield is 50 bags / hectare, in December it was very dry and damaged grain filling, the producers hoped for more! If it continues, raining too can reduce production per hectare as soybean is ready to harvest and the rain does not let the machines spoon. The poor harvest is not , only due to higher rainfall now but the earlier rainfall we much missed.

Planting of double cropping cotton and corn is also stopped in Campo Verde with excessive rainfall. Areas under cotton will be reduced up to 33% this year because of competition with corn that had good prices.
