Planting covered 80% of Rio Grande do Sul’s projected 896,401 hectares of corn for the 2026/27 season, with progress varying by region. Frequent rain and high soil moisture have delayed early plant development, reduced nitrogen-fertilizer efficiency in some fields, and caused stand gaps and localized replanting.
Further planting delays or crop-establishment problems could reduce yields and tighten regional corn supplies, lending support to prices, although substantial planting remains underway.
After 1,465 past bullish weather events, Corn moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.9%), and +0.9% over 20.
