# Drought and heat risk in crops amid El Niño raises alarm among Acre’s agricultural sector

> Acre’s agricultural federation warned that El Niño could bring irregular rainfall, water deficits and heat waves to parts of northern and central-western Brazil. It advised farmers to check soil moisture before planting, preserve soil cover and use regionally adapted crop varieties; the article also cites a StoneX estimate of 183.4 million tonnes for Brazil’s soybean crop.
