# In Brazil, it’s time to pay attention to “safrinha” corn – Ohio Ag Net | Ohio's Country Journal

> Brazil's safrinha (second-crop) corn is being planted later than normal because the soybean harvest was delayed by irregular rains in late 2019. About 80% of projected area was planted in south-central Brazil by early March, and Mato Grosso is nearly finished.

## Why it matters

Late planting exposes the crop to dryness and frost during pollination and grain filling, so yield risk rises. If planting proceeds as planned, output near 73 million tons would be a bullish-to-neutral supply signal for corn exports that can cap prices.
