DTN reports Brazil's soybean planting reached over 22% by October 14, the second-fastest start on record, versus 8% a year earlier. Mato Grosso, the largest soybean state, was 45% planted, as producers planted early after last year's La Nina losses.
Fast planting lowers the risk of a late-season delay to Brazil's soybean and safrinha corn crops, which pressures soy and corn prices.
