Brazil Soybean Harvest Nears Completion

The Brazilian soybean harvest is about 80% complete, with only northern areas and Rio Grande do Sul remaining. Early-planted second-crop corn looks good, but later-planted corn will need rain into May.

WHY IT MATTERS

Harvest progress is largely routine, while the need for May rains on late corn adds modest upside risk to corn prices if rainfall falls short.
