BUENOS AIRES, March 10 (Reuters) - Scattered rains in Argentina early this year helped some of the soy and corn fields hardest hit by the dryness that afflicted the Pampas grains belt since mid-2020, but crop yields remain at risk going into the harvest, meteorologists said on Wednesday.

2/22/2021 BUENOS AIRES, Feb 22 (Reuters) - Showers on Argentina’s Pampas grains belt in recent weeks have helped make up for the dryness that parched soy and corn crops from the middle of last year, weather experts said on Monday. Farmers are now hoping for enough rain to boost yields after the country’s two main cash crops were hit by an unusual lack of precipitation before a resurgence of wet weather in January. “Showers during the last fortnight of January and all of February reversed a situation that could have been dramatic if it had not rained,” said Pablo Adreani of consultancy Pablo Adreani and Associates.
1/14/2021 By Hugh Bronstein BUENOS AIRES, Jan 14 (Reuters) - Argentine soy and corn fields have benefited from recent rains, with more showers expected that could slowly improve crop yields after they were threatened by dry weather earlier in the season, local climate experts said on Thursday. Concerns that Argentine production might falter amid tightening global supplies of grains and oilseeds have sent benchmark corn, soy and wheat futures on the Chicago Board of Trade to their highest levels since at least 2014. Rising feed grain demand in China, the world s top commodity importer, has further fueled the rally. Months of dryness on Argentina s Pampas grains belt have raised concerns about productivity in the world s No. 3 corn exporter and top supplier of soymeal livestock feed.
