Brazil Rain Update
At the end of January, we continue to see some highly-variable rainfall totals in the heart of Brazil's soybean belt.
Here is the latest summary of rainfall for January in the major soybean provinces of Brazil as compiled by my colleague Joel Burgio. For the season as an entirety, the only real "dry" province is Goias in the east-central portion of the country. But, for January specifically, there have been some notable departures from normal on the low side for not only Goias, but also Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, and even south into northern Parana.
A reminder--southern hemisphere crops are effectively turning the corner into the equivalent of the month of August as February approaches. Amounts shown are in inches.
