For 7-10 days in the regions of sowing winter wheat in the USA, Ukraine and Russia experienced extreme cold, which sometimes reached -18 to -15 degrees. However, the snow, the previous day, protect the crops from damage. The unfavorable weather, the price of wheat showed the speculative growth of 3-4%, but later returned to the previous level.

the Attention of traders was focused on the United States, where a cold front came to the southern States. In Texas, where the snow on the fields almost no frosts reached -19 C, and could damage the crops of winter wheat.

On the Southern Plains of the United States snow replenished the soil moisture reserves, but in the South-West of the region is still lacking precipitation.

In the Midwest USA cold front brought the powerful snow, who joined the moisture reserves in anticipation of spring planting of soybeans and corn.

from the cold weekend retreat, and over the next 7-10 days in the United States will dominate the weather's warm, -1...+5 degrees with little precipitation in the form of snow.

In Ukraine, last week there was a cold -15...-10 degrees, but the powerful snow covered field snow 10-30 cm, which protected the crops. The moisture reserves in the first meter of soil recovered in almost all areas of the country that will provide crops with moisture in the new season.

in Almost all the European territory of Russia are favorable for wintering plants agrometeorological conditions. Last week on the South and North Caucasus districts were snowfalls, which protect crops from frost and replenish moisture reserves. Precipitation will last for the next week. In the agricultural regions of the Volga, the Ural district and Western Siberia weather also contributes to the wintering of winter crops. A separate analytical Agency reduced forecasts of wheat production in Russia in the new season due to the reduction of the sowing areas, due to the introduction of export duties, as well as the increase in the area under oilseeds.

In Brazil was established dry weather, which helped to speed up harvesting soybeans and corn second crop. However, since the environment in the Central and Northern regions again the rains and showers that will delay the agricultural work.

In Argentina during the week will be dominated by dry weather with little rainfall, which will speed up the cleaning of sunflower. Moisture reserves are mostly sufficient, but in some places the crops of soybeans and corn are suffering from a deficiency of precipitation.

in the Near future Argentina will start harvesting early crops of corn, which will give a new impetus to the prices in case of discrepancies between previous rates of productivity and analysts.
