Rain boosts crop prospects in eastern Europe but slows harvesting in Brazil

摘要

Rains continue to improve moisture in southeastern Europe wheat and barley areas, but dryness will stress crops in north central Europe.Cold temperatures in the US Plains last week resulted in some spotty damage to wheat, but rains this week should improve moisture, with similar improvements expected in southern Ukraine.Meanwhile, active rains are slowing soyabean harvesting in south central Brazil, but drier weather in Argentina is allowing soybean harvesting to progress well.
