Brazil Safrinha Corn Prospects Improve; More Rain Needed

Kansas City, April 8 (World Weather Inc.) – Rain scattered across a large part of Brazil’s summer crop areas during the past week, although the precipitation was not evenly distributed. Some areas failed to get enough moisture for a serious lift in topsoil moisture which is needed to support the 20-25% of late planted Safrinha corn through reproduction. The past week’s weather was ideally mixed for near term crop development, but greater rain is needed so that the soil is saturated on the last day of the monsoon. Any shortage of moisture present when the monsoon ends could raise some concern over the late planted Safrinha corn yields. In the meantime, harvesting of soybeans, first-season corn, and other crops will continue around the periods of rain.

Weekly Citrus Weather For Tuesday, April 8, 2025

Kansas City, April 8 (World Weather Inc.) – Drought or abnormally dry conditions persist in Florida’s citrus country. The region will only have a few opportunities for light rain during the coming week that will be unable to significantly improve the moisture profile. Irrigation will continue to be used on a daily basis. Brazil’s citrus areas saw a mix of spotty rain and sunshine during the past week. Periods of erratic rainfall will continue in the coming days and will maintain relatively good citrus conditions. Mexico’s citrus areas received little to no rain during the past week. Mostly dry weather will persist through early next week and the need for more significant rain will increase.
