In Brazil, the farmers in central Mato Grosso are pleased with their 2023/24 safrinha corn yields, but low prices and high costs have reduced their profit margins. The safrinha corn harvest finished earlier than usual this year because the soybean growth cycle was shortened by about 15 days due to drought. Once the soybeans were harvested and the safrinha corn was planted, rainfall returned to normal levels, resulting in a good growing season for the safrinha corn.
