South America Crop & Weather Update – August 02, 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 harvest mostly complete. 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.
