Drier weather has helped the soybean harvest to make progress in Argentina. 72 percent of the crop was harvested as of Thursday. Pro Farmer’s First Thing Today says that represents an 11-point increase from a week prior, but harvest is still 18 percent behind last year’s pace. The Buenos Aires Grain Exchange notes that record yields in areas not hit by rain have allowed it to maintain the 56 Million Metric Ton forecast, in spite of losing 1.65 million bean acres. Corn harvest is also progressing, with 29 percent of the crop out of the fields. The exchange also reports that farmers have sown three percent of total land amounts they plan to put wheat production.
