# RS 2024/25 Harvest: soybean harvest progresses, but losses in the field are a concern - Cultivar Magazine

> Rio Grande do Sul soybean harvest reached 95% by early May, but dry weather and natural threshing caused field losses, with productivity at 1 to 2.5 kg/ha in some areas. Corn harvest is slow, with late crops facing water stress during grain filling.
