HARVEST SEASON COMES TO A CLOSE IN RIO GRANDE DO SUL

According to Emater/RS-Ascar, Rio Grande do Sul’s soybean harvest is 95% complete. Yields varied significantly due to water deficits, with average losses reaching 80 kg/ha despite favorable dry conditions that aided fieldwork. While Proagro payments are being processed faster, many farmers face challenges securing full reimbursements due to policy limits. Corn harvest progress stands at 92%, with only 2% of crops still maturing. Recent dry weather threatens yield potential for remaining developing crops, though warmer temperatures and morning dew are mitigating water stress. As growers await rainfall to begin winter planting, they focus on soil conservation practices to prepare fields for covering crops and next season’s planting.
