TRANSCRIPT
Brazil's soy state is running dry. Mato Grosso got 186 mm of rain from Sept 1 to Oct 27. The historical average for that stretch is 276 mm.
A 33% rain deficit. That is the second-driest start to a growing season in 27 years.
Early soy fields already feel it. Soybeans planted early are showing the effects of low soil moisture. Aprosoja MT warns of risks to yield potential.
Why feed buyers care. Mato Grosso is Brazil's largest soybean and corn state, so a dry start raises concerns about the 2026/27 crop.
Watch the rain ahead. Persistent dryness could tighten export supplies and support soybean and soybean meal prices. The coming weeks of rain matter.
