# Low humidity reduces the pace of soybean sowing in Brazil - Revista Cultivar

> Brazilian soybean sowing slowed due to irregular, below-expected rains, and the Paranagua and Parana soybean indicators fell about 1% in the week of Sept. 17-24. Concerns are growing that adverse weather, the second year in a row, could hurt the safrinha corn crop.

## Why it matters
