# Traders eyeing South American planting delays - Brownfield Ag News

> Brazil's second-crop soybean planting is trailing last year by about 10% but remains on pace with the five-year average. A grain marketer says a 55-65% chance of La Niña could bring South American production losses. Any price rally tied to adverse weather would most likely come in January or February.
