In corn, 90% were evaluated as good until last week. Now, this number has dropped to 77%. The areas considered average were from 9% to 20% and 3% are seen as poor. In relation to the phenological stages, 26% of the crops are in vegetative development, 43% in flowering, 30% in fruiting and 1% is already maturing.
The west, north and northwest regions are suffering most from drought, which impacts corn. In the south, where the grain is planted earlier, the situation is better. For soybeans, the biggest impact is on crops located in the west and southwest of the State.
A Deral survey released at the end of November indicated that the State should produce 20.985 million tons of soybeans and 4.19 million tons of summer corn in the 2021/22 harvest. The next update to the projections will be released next week.
