The rains are conspicuous by their absence and the agricultural campaign in Argentina is advancing at a slow and uneven pace

Tridge summary

Surface moisture reserves are depleting in the west of the central zone, affecting planting plans. Corn planting is slow, while sunflower and sorghum are gaining ground due to their drought tolerance. The Rosario Stock Exchange reports rapid corn planting despite moisture scarcity, with a potential 50-70% reduction in corn area if rains don't come in September. Sunflowers and sorghum are emerging as viable alternatives. The Buenos Aires Grain Exchange notes limited sunflower sowing progress due to water limitations, with wheat conditions varying widely due to uneven rainfall. Spring rains will be crucial to prevent further wheat losses. Refertilization work has improved crop conditions in key areas, but delays in crop phenology and widespread drying out in several wheat production areas make achieving a harvest of 20.5 million tons uncertain.

Nobody wants to be a victim of the leafhopper and its diseases again, so if there is even a minimum of moisture in the soil, producers risk sowing cereal, even putting the germination of the crop at risk. This description of reality is correlated with the data provided by the Rosario Stock Exchange in its latest report, which details that almost in record time 200,000 hectares of corn were planted in the core region. The entity points out that "it is planted with an impressive degree of madness because nobody wants to waste the little surface moisture that remains." Beyond some specific needs - such as those of dairy farmers - with the lack of rain ...
