China Rapeseed Area To Get Needed Rain

Kansas City, January 22 (World Weather Inc.) – The main crop production areas in eastern China were mostly dry again during the past week as they have been frequently this autumn and winter. The lack of precipitation and periods of warmer-than-normal weather continued to dry the soil, primarily near and south of the Yangtze River. The need for rain remains high in order to support early-season rice planting in March and early season rapeseed development in the Yangtze River Basin in both February and March. Precipitation is set to return this weekend and especially next week with some rain continuing into the first full week of February. Soil moisture will slowly increase and the environment for winter rapeseed and early-season planting will improve; however, some of the driest areas in southern China will need additional rain to completely fix moisture deficits.

Brazil Soybean Maturation, Harvest To Advance Better Briefly

Kansas City, January 22 (World Weather Inc.) – Early-season harvest progress is underway in a few locations in Brazil, although weather conditions have been a little too wet for ideal maturation and fieldwork advancement. A welcome respite from the greatest rainfall is under way and will continue into the weekend before some increasing shower and thunderstorm activity occurs again next week. The greatest rainfall is expected from mid-week next week through the first full week in February and that period of rainy weather may raise a little market and producer worry, although there should be sufficient time for better weather later in February to get more fieldwork completed. Safrinha corn planting may be a little slow getting into full swing until the soybean harvest is completed.
