A meteorologist says weather extremes in South America will likely reduce yields in key production areas.
Eric Snodgrass with Nutrien Ag Solutions tells Brownfield northern Brazil’s monsoon season ended about two weeks early. I’ve not yet heard how big of an impact that’s going to be, but normally,they need those rains to help with grain fill as we start to work towards the month of May and then into June when they’re going to harvest that Safrinha crop.”
While northern Brazil is getting less moisture, Snodgrass says southern Brazil, where they generally don’t grow a second crop has the opposite problem.
