It has now been close to ten days since appreciable rains fell in Argentine corn and soybean growing areas, and with temperatures in that period running above normal we are starting to see some stress develop on their crops. Through Wednesday we had high temperatures mostly in the 90-92 degree range in the heart of the growing region, though extreme southwestern and southern parts of the growing region had highs in the upper 90s to as warm as 104 during that period. We took temperatures up another notch yesterday though, with highs of 93-96 in the heart of the growing area but readings as warm as 107 degrees at one location in the state of La Pampa (a very minor soybean producer and a fairly minor corn producing state). Look for high temperatures today to be similar to those of yesterday, and some 90s will continue in at least parts of Argentina through early next week. However, it will also be during that time frame when rain chances begin anew, and eventually we are going to see all of Argentina’s main corn and soybean growing region get some very nice rains.
We will see rains already tomorrow in southern and southwestern growing areas, and it looks like virtually daily chances for rain in all or parts of Argentina’s main corn and soybean belt through the latter part of the work-week period of next week. It will take some time, but with such an extended period of a rainfall threat, you can assume correctly that eventually everyone is going to see all the rain that they want. Cooler temperatures will also be seen for the second half of next week as well. For Brazilian growing areas, what I see most notable about the weather coming up is a drying trend in their northern growing areas, probably to be considered as favorable for crop prospects as more and more of the crop there matures and becomes ready for harvest. We will need to see rains continue in February in southern growing areas, as February is the month when the crop is “made” in states like Rio Grande do Sul. Widely scattered rains are possible there on a daily basis over the next five days, with better coverage and amounts of rain for that state in the six-to-ten day time frame.
