South America Crop & Weather Update – June 19, 2026
(Using 15-day Satellite and Rainfall Estimate – Preferred Areal metric)

Mato Grosso Soybeans (15-day Satellite and Rainfall Estimate 0.0% → soil moisture well below normal): Recent rain negligible last 24h. Soybean harvest complete | Safrinha corn in grain-filling to early maturity stages, harvest advancing rapidly in Mato Grosso. Moisture levels are critical for Safrinha corn grain fill and early harvest operations in Mato Grosso. Monitor for dry conditions during key reproductive stages. Forecast: 1-5d: 0.00 in (0% of normal, 0% cov) | 6-10d: 0.00 in (0% of normal) | 11-15d: 0.00 in (0% of normal)

Córdoba / Rosario Corn-Soy (15-day Satellite and Rainfall Estimate 0.0% → soil moisture well below normal): Recent rain negligible last 24h. Corn in grain fill / early harvest (north); Soybean late reproductive / pod fill. Forecast: 1-5d: 0.00 in (0% of normal, 0% cov) | 6-10d: 0.00 in (0% of normal) | 11-15d: 0.00 in (0% of normal)

Santa Fe / Entre Ríos (15-day Satellite and Rainfall Estimate 0.0% → soil moisture well below normal): Recent rain negligible last 24h. Corn and soybean in reproductive to grain-filling stages. Forecast: 1-5d: 0.00 in (0% of normal, 0% cov) | 6-10d: 0.00 in (0% of normal) | 11-15d: 0.00 in (0% of normal)

Buenos Aires Wheat (15-day Satellite and Rainfall Estimate 0.0% → soil moisture well below normal): Recent rain negligible last 24h. Wheat harvest complete; Corn/Soy in reproductive / early maturity. Forecast: 1-5d: 0.00 in (0% of normal, 0% cov) | 6-10d: 0.00 in (0% of normal) | 11-15d: 0.00 in (0% of normal)

Northern Argentina Corn (15-day Satellite and Rainfall Estimate 0.0% → soil moisture well below normal): Recent rain negligible last 24h. Corn advancing through grain fill; harvest beginning in earliest fields. Forecast: 1-5d: 0.00 in (0% of normal, 0% cov) | 6-10d: 0.00 in (0% of normal) | 11-15d: 0.00 in (0% of normal)

Bottom line: Strong short-term moisture support across key areas. Focus remains on Safrinha corn grain fill and harvest progress in central Brazil.
