South Africa Crops Too See Good Late-Season Development

Kansas City, March 26 (World Weather Inc.) – Portions of South Africa’s summer crop region saw several waves of rain during the past week while other areas were either dry or experienced net drying. The rain helped maintain a good environment for aggressive late-season coarse grain, oilseed, and cotton development. Yields remain relatively favorable due to timely rain over the growing season. Early-season planting prospects for winter grains and oilseeds are also favorable, though timely rain must continue over the next month to maintain the best planting moisture. South Africa will see a good mix of rain and sunshine during the coming week that will maintain favorable development conditions and support early soybean harvesting. Drier periods will be needed later in April as the bulk of summer crops mature and get ready for harvesting.

Europe Soil Moisture Looking Good For Spring Crop Use

Kansas City, March 26 (World Weather Inc.) – Despite trending warmer than usual during the past month, much of eastern and central Europe are too cold to support much winter grain and oilseed growth. Crop development is under way in the Iberian Peninsula and portions of southern France, Italy, and neighboring areas. Most crop areas have ample moisture to support favorable development once seasonal warming occurs; however, many areas in Western and central Europe will trend cooler than usual during the coming week. New growth will be minimal due to the lack of significant daytime heating. Precipitation will vary across Europe during this time with waves of precipitation slated for the Balkans region while western parts of the continent are driest.
