SUMMER CORN PLANTING REACHES 81% OF THE EXPECTED AREA IN RIO GRANDE DO SUL

The weekly report from Emater-RS shows that summer corn planting in Rio Grande do Sul has achieved 81% of the expected area. According to Emater, 65% of the crops are in the germination and vegetative stages, 24% are in the blooming stage, and 11% are in the grain-filling stage. Many growers chose to plant soybeans and harvest wheat. As a result, wheat is now only being sown in a few places. Additionally, “some farmers prefer to start planting during the off-season and plan to begin early in January”, Emater said.
