# Climate change could dampen Argentina’s recovery. | Climate Change

> Flooding in Córdoba and Santa Fe provinces destroyed or delayed plantings of soybeans, corn and wheat, while some Santa Fe farms saw higher soybean yields but rising harvest costs. Rainfall in the Pampas has run well above the 50-year average in five of the past six years, and few insurers cover flood losses.
