Dr. Michael Cordonnier says Brazil's soybean planting is nearly two-thirds complete and that a strengthening La Niña brings a drier-than-normal outlook for November through January. He expects Brazilian safrinha corn planting to slip into March, with farmers still motivated to plant with prices around $6.50 per bushel.
A dry outlook during pod filling and a late corn planting window raise yield risk for Brazil's crops, supporting corn and soybean prices and meal supply expectations.
