According to Emater/RS-Ascar, 73% of the projected summer corn area in Rio Grande do Sul has been planted for the 2025-26 season, a gain of just one percentage point over the past week. Heavy rains, exceeding 110 mm in the Western Border region, severely slowed progress by preventing machinery use. Of the established crop, 99% is germinating and 1% has begun flowering.
