# Soybean planting reaches 96% in Mato Grosso amid second-driest season start in 27 years; rainfall in Campos de Júlio is down 56%

> Mato Grosso had planted 96.07% of its 2026/27 soybean area by November 6, ahead of last year and the five-year average. The rapid progress comes amid severe dryness: the state recorded 186 millimeters of rain from September 1 to October 27, 33% below the historical average, and some early-planted fields are already experiencing moisture stress.
