# Dryer-Than-Normal Weather Possible in S. Brazil March-April-May 16.03.2022 - UkrAgroConsult

> Conab's March crop report warned that rainfall in southern Brazil during March-April-May could fall below normal, potentially hurting safrinha corn. Farmers have planted 94% of the safrinha crop, and a 60% chance of La Niña persisting raises the risk of early frost in late May.
