Southeastern Australia Harvest May Be Impacted By Rain

Kansas City, October 29 (World Weather Inc.) – Winter grain and oilseed harvesting continued to expand across Australia during the past week. Crops in the far south of the nation were still approaching and entering reproduction with Victoria and southeastern South Australia having the most immature crops. There is some growing concern about a wetter than usual bias that has been prevailing for a while in southeastern Australia. That wet bias is likely to prevail into November and may raise the potential for some wet weather disease for wheat and barley and could reduce the quality of some crops as they move into the maturation and harvest season later this year. In the meantime, increasing rainfall recently in Queensland and northeastern New South Wales has been improving soil moisture for dryland summer crops, such as cotton and sorghum as well as others.

Argentina Planting Conditions Improve From Recent Rain

Kansas City, October 29 (World Weather Inc.) – Argentina has seen a good mix of rain and sunshine during much of the spring season and that has supported winter wheat and barley development as well as favorable early spring planting progress. There have been a few areas missing rain periodically. Rain reported during the past week in the main Pampas farming region and surrounding areas significantly improved the moisture profile. Planting and establishment conditions are now more favorable and should promote more aggressive fieldwork in the coming weeks. The main production areas will see a good mix of rain and sunshine through the middle of next week. Periods of drier weather will allow for aggressive planting. Most locations will have enough moisture to maintain favorable establishment and early-season development as well.
