In Missouri, Brownfield reported that a market analyst expects more than a quarter of Brazil’s second crop corn to be planted outside its optimal window. Michael Cordonnier with Soybean and Corn Advisor noted that 25 to 30% of Safrinha corn is going to be planted after the end of February. Brazil’s Safrinha crop accounts for 75 to 80% of the country’s total corn production. The analyst noted that the peak of the rainy season in central Brazil has likely passed.“It’s turning drier now, it’s just a matter of how fast the rains start to dry out. If you plant late and the rainy season is extended, your corn will be okay.” More on the story.
