Starts in Mato Grosso planting of the second maize crop

Farmers will start planting the second crop of corn, with expansion prospects of the cultivated area

Starts in Mato Grosso planting of the second maize crop

Planting started yet in the first half of January and 230 hectares were sown, but the work had to be stopped because the rain is hindering the advance of the soybean crop harvest, which must be removed from the field to make room for the winter maize .

The farmer will enlarge the area of corn: 770 to 850 hectares. "This year we do not have that high price perspective, but also has very low," says the farmer.

Despite the biggest gamble of some farmers, the weather Mato Grosso Institute of Agricultural Economics, is down 12% in the total area for winter maize.

Among the reasons, the late soybean harvest and especially the corn market, which still does not encourage farmers.
