Wide Variety In Brazil Rain
A rundown of rainfall totals logged by my colleague Joel Burgio shows a wide variance indeed on rainfall in the major Brazil row crop areas. A slow start to the subtropical rainy season is a big reason why Brazil soybean planting at the end of last week was only 70 percent completed--the slowest pace since 2007.
Here's how the station totals play out for rain since September 1, 2015
