Brazilian ag consultant Kory Melby says it’s been a slow start to Brazil’s planting season. “Mato Grosso is 35 percent and pushing 40 percent planted, Parana is better with it being 50 percent planted,” said Melby. “It’s probably 20 percent planted nationally, the northeast is quite dry yet.” El Nino will be a factor. “The northeast has a tendancy of seven years of feast and seven years of famine; we’re coming off of seven years of feast so the northeast may have some problems this year and we should keep an eye on it.”
