Russia Spring, Summer Crops Face Frequent Rain

Kansas City, July 2 (World Weather Inc.) – Wetter-than-usual weather during the past month was noted across Russia’s main production areas. The rain came at a time when winter grains and oilseeds were maturing and getting ready for harvest. Minor harvest delays were suspected with some quality reductions also a concern. Planting of the summer crops and general fieldwork may have advanced slowly in the wettest locations as well. Long-term production potentials for the summer crops are otherwise favorable due to the ample moisture. The main winter wheat and barley production areas will trend drier than usual through the middle of next week and the lack of rain will be beneficial for more crop maturation and harvesting. Spring cereals and some summer grain and oilseed crops produced a little farther to the north, however, will experience another ten days of frequent rain.

China Drought Shrinking Away; More Relief Likely

Kansas City, July 2 (World Weather Inc.) – Recent rainfall for portions of the North China Plain and central Yellow River Basin continued to chip away at the drought that evolved earlier this year. The environment improved somewhat for coarse grains, oilseeds, cotton, and other crops; however, resulting rainfall was too light to completely fix some of the dryness and more rain is needed. The driest areas will have several more opportunities for rain through the middle of next week and the moisture profile will further improve. In the meantime, many areas in east-central and southeastern China will dry down through the middle of next week. No major production impacts are expected as long as rain returns in mid-July.
