# Low Soil Moisture in Mato Grosso May Delay Start of Soy Planting

> Soil moisture in Mato Grosso is the lowest in 10 years, and forecasts show very little rain for the first half of September. Soybean planting is permitted from September 7, but farmers may be unable to start fieldwork, which could also delay safrinha corn planting.
