\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Porto Alegre, October 14, 2020 \u2013 The planting of the new Brazilian soybean crop remains at a very slow pace in the country, which keeps the evolution of sowing behind the normal average for this time of year. The lack of moisture continues discouraging growers in the Midwest, Southeast, and part of the South region. In Mato Grosso do Sul, Goi\u00e1s, and Minas Gerais only small areas with irrigation were sown. Growers remain concerned about the lack of rainfall and the risk of replanting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
