2024/25 Argentina Corn Estimate Unchanged at 46.0 Million Tons
Rainfall in Argentina last week favored the central production area leading to improved soil moisture in those areas. The forecast for this week is calling for more chances of rain in central and southern areas. If the rains verify, dryness and moisture stress on corn and soybeans will be reduced significantly.
