# Brazil?s second crop corn harvest is underway | Iowa Agribusiness Radio Network

> Agronomist Michael Cordonnier said Brazil's safrinha corn was 31% harvested and that he raised his Brazil corn estimate by 2 million tonnes to 112 million. Parts of Brazil have suffered drought and unusual pest pressure from corn leafhoppers, which transmit a stunting virus. Some growers sprayed up to 12 insecticide applications.

## Why it matters

The higher crop estimate is bearish, but the leafhopper virus and drought could cut yields in affected areas and partly offset that pressure. Net effect on feed corn prices is limited.
