A US forecaster says La Niña is over and conditions are now neutral, but dryness is likely in the central and southern US Plains for at least the next month. Dryness is also expected in central Brazil in May and June, and in eastern Europe, Ukraine and western Russia through June.
Dry weather in the US Plains threatens hard red winter wheat development, and Black Sea and Brazilian dryness could tighten wheat and safrinha corn supplies. Those risks support prices, though the forecast is not yet confirmed damage.
