# Daily rains slow Brazil’s early bean harvest

> Daily rains have slowed the early soybean harvest in Brazil's Mato Grosso, where producers had harvested 1.5% of 23.3 million acres versus a five-year average of 2.9%. Yields so far appear unaffected, with one producer averaging about 52 bushels per acre. Late bean harvesting has also delayed safrinha corn planting, which was only 0.08% complete on the 10.5 million-acre projection.

## Why it matters

Delayed soybean harvest and late second-crop corn planting raise some uncertainty over Brazil's safrinha output, a supportive factor for corn and meal prices, though healthy bean yields limit the bullish impact.
