Rio Grande do Sul has harvested 88% of its estimated soybean area for the 2024-25 season, an 8% increase in just one week. This progress outpaces both last year’s rate (73%) and the five-year average (81%), according to Emater/RS-Ascar. Despite uneven crop maturation, grain quality has shown recent improvement. The recent decline in rainfall has decreased grain moisture levels, which now range between 12% and 13%, making natural threshing easier. Anticipating further rain, many farmers are intensifying harvesting efforts to protect soybean quality by extending work shifts or hiring additional labor.
