Here in Brazil we are beginning the harvest of the second crop maize. Some states are realizing that corn will get its quality compromised due to excessive rains. In the north of the state of Mato Grosso, the producers at this beginning of the harvest have already identified maize with 30% of damage. This week some farms had difficulty harvesting because they received rains. We still do not know if this is going to be a major loss.
