In Rio Grande do Sul, the soybean planting is still at a slow pace. On the other hand, corn planting continues to advance in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Data on both crops are included in the weekly bulletin released by Emater-RS.
+ What are the impacts of the rains on the current grain harvest?
Rio Grande do Sul has been authorized by the agricultural zoning of climatological risk to sow soybeans since October 11, but producers are cautious and delaying planting. This is because this is expected to be another year with the incidence of La Niña phenomenon.
Given this climatic requirement, early planting of the oilseed means that flowering occurs in December, when rainfall levels may be lower than expected. Another factor is that temperatures are still low in the southern state, which delays germination.
In the Bagé region, specifically the lack of rain slowed down soil preparation. Thus, the state plans to plant 6,5 million hectares with soybeans and, thus, return to the mark of 20 million tons.

Finally, in winter crops, good development of the wheat, canola, barley and oats. This confirms the high productivity expected.
