# Despite Adverse Weather at the Start of Soybean Planting, Second-Crop Corn Could Set a New Area Record

> Imea estimates Mato Grosso’s 2026/27 second-crop corn area at 7.48 million hectares, up 0.59% from the previous season and potentially a record. Faster soybean planting, expected to finish within the planned window, could allow more corn to be planted in the ideal period; the forecast also points to potentially favorable rainfall through February.
