Corn Progress in Brazil

By Eduardo Paim:

Producers in Mato Grosso: Crops still need some rain in the coming weeks. In the region of Eastern, spring crops have received a lot of rain in the soybean harvest, now ask for the return of the rains for maize production, only 20% is mature and 80% still needs rain.

In Guiratinga Jaciara and no rain for over 15 days and 80% of corn is now mature only 20% still expect rain. If the rains do not come back Guiratinga producers believe will reap 80 s / c is in Jaciara would be 90 s / c no.

Itiquira and High Herons now is more critical of the lack of rain, there are more than 20 days without rain and only 50% of corn is already mature. Producers in Itiquira believe that if there is no more rain in the coming days would be the production of 90 s / c no, and High Herons 80 s / c no.

Paranatinga and Campo Verde received some rains in recent weeks, 80% of corn is mature. In Paranatinga producers believe in spoon 90 s / c's in Green Field 100 is if rains do not come back anymore .
Here in Mato Grosso we have no more rain in the forecast. If we do not get more rain, corn production was expected to more than 110 bags per HA should not be greater than 80 bags in the overall average of our state. In the middle of Brazil must still have a good production for corn, have other states that are not missing rain.
