Argentina Rain Will Benefit For Wheat, Barley

Kansas City, July 9 (World Weather Inc.) – Winter wheat and barley planting is advancing across Argentina. Western Argentina is too dry to support ideal establishment while areas farther east have enough moisture to support relatively good establishment. Harvesting of the summer grains, oilseeds, and cotton is also ongoing and experienced relatively favorable conditions during the past week. The main production areas in Argentina will see a mix of rain and sunshine through the middle of next week. Rainfall will be welcome for winter wheat and barley establishment in the drier areas of the west while harvesting of summer crops may be sluggish during the wettest periods.

European Drought Reflected In Vegetative Health Index

Kansas City, July 9 (World Weather Inc.) – Drought remains a big concern in portions of France, The United Kingdom and immediate neighboring areas as well as in portions of the lower Danube River Basin. Cooling has occurred this week relative to that of last week, but very little rain has come with it in western parts of the continent while a deep upper level trough of low pressure has brought and will continue to bring rain to central and northeastern parts of the continent. Little to no relief is expected in the drier areas of Europe for the next ten days leading to further declines in crop conditions which have clearly been reflected in the Vegetative Health Index for the region.
