Precipitation reduces the heat and improves moisture reserves before sowing

The weather in the Northern Hemisphere favors the ripening and harvesting of late crops, and the precipitation, which is already coming and will continue for another week, will replenish moisture reserves and accelerate the sowing of winter crops.

Rains have passed in Brazil, which improved moisture reserves before sowing soybeans and corn. However, traders are concerned about low temperatures in the wheat growing regions of Argentina and Brazil.

A cold front is moving across the United States, particularly through the Midwest, which will bring down temperatures and bring rains that will replenish soil moisture reserves during the week. Warm, dry weather will return late next week, allowing spring wheat harvest to finish and soybean harvest to begin.

In Texas, the drought has eased recently, but it still persists in the eastern regions. Rains will pass in the Plains areas, but in some places they will not be enough to fill soybeans and corn. Temperatures will be above normal by the end of the week, which will continue to reduce soybean and corn crop potential, especially in the northern and western parts of the region.

In Canada, the canola and spring wheat growing zone will receive light precipitation, and the decrease in temperature will facilitate the pouring of late crops. Harvesting is accelerating, with 22% of canola and 40% of spring wheat harvested in Saskatchewan.

Soybean and corn planting is underway in southern Brazil, and rains next week will improve planting conditions. But the drop in temperatures will have a negative impact on maturing wheat, although no frosts are expected.

A cold front has reached Argentina, and in the coming days frosts are possible there, which will worsen the condition of wheat crops suffering from drought and cold. On the eve of sowing soybeans and corn, rains are needed to replenish moisture reserves. This year, due to the drought, the area planted with wheat has decreased, and the lack of precipitation will continue to reduce the harvest.

In Ukraine, in the next 3-5 days, rains will pass and temperatures will drop, which will replenish moisture reserves before sowing wheat and accelerate the germination of rapeseed crops. Dry and warm weather will return in a week, which will help harvest sunflowers and corn.

In the east of the Russian Federation, the weather favors the harvesting of spring wheat, which increases the chances of obtaining a record 95-100 million tons of wheat. Rains in the south-western regions replenish moisture reserves on the eve of winter sowing.
