# Argentine drought threatens to wallop late-planted corn and soy — EMTV ONLINE

> Drought since September 21 in Argentina's central farm belt has prevented planting of late-season soybeans and corn and threatens crops already sown. Farmers in Buenos Aires province, including Juan Graneros, report no meaningful rain on their fields. Chicago soybean and soymeal futures surged to their highest since July on concerns over Argentine supply.

## Why it matters
