# South American crop and weather update - Morning Ag Clips

> Brazil's soybean planting was about 96% complete and first-crop corn about 95% planted, ahead of the five-year average. Dry conditions in southern Brazil, including Rio Grande do Sul, are raising concern, and a weak La Nina is expected to persist through the southern summer. Central Brazil and Mato Grosso are still forecast to have mostly favorable conditions.
