The 2024/25 Argentina corn estimate was left unchanged this week at 47.0 million tons with a lower bias going forward. Since the corn estimate has been lowered three weeks in a row.

The forecast is calling for rain in south-central areas mid-week which should improve soil moisture. Dryness will continue to build across northern areas and temperatures will remain warm.
