> A spell of dry weather in Cascavel, Paraná, brought only 4.1 millimeters of rain over seven days, raising concerns about water stress in early-planted soybean fields. The dry conditions come as Brazil’s 2026/27 soybean planting advances rapidly, with 53% of the projected area sown by October 29, according to AgRural.
