farmdoc daily reports that CONAB's first projection for Brazil's 2021-22 harvest is a record 289.6 million tons of grains, with soybean acreage expected at about 99 million acres and corn at about 51 million acres. The forecast is based on high prices, a weaker real and expected export growth.
A record Brazilian crop expansion signals larger export supplies of soybeans and corn later in the year, which is bearish for world prices and feed costs.
