Brazil's central-west harvest is being slowed by spotty showers, which delays safrinha corn planting. WeatherTrends360 expects dry, hot conditions across southern Brazil and Argentina into March, with the second half of February among the driest in 30-plus years from Mato Grosso do Sul to Rio Grande do Sul.
Forecast dryness during the critical pollination window threatens immature soybeans and safrinha corn, raising South American supply risk and supporting corn and soybean prices.
