Precipitation in the coming days is expected to be below average across soft wheat and durum wheat areas ①, which is favorable for sowing progress. Based on vegetation indices, the emergence of the first planted crops has already begun ②.
01
Canada - Are conditions in the coming days expected to be favorable for sowing?
Yes
02
USA - Does the moisture situation remain unfavorable in the core winter wheat production area?
Yes
Soil moisture levels are very low across several key wheat-producing states, including Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and Colorado ①, with NDVI values reflecting degraded crop vigor ②.
03
Brazil - Is the southern part of the country continuing to receive rainfall?
Yes
Precipitation in the coming days, according to ECMWF ① and GFS ②, is expected to be above average in the southern part of the country, which will be favorable for crops. In the central part of the country, the dry season is now established, and little rainfall is expected in the coming months.
04
Brazil - Are delays in corn development easing?
No
Vegetation indices across part of the core safrinha corn production area ① still indicate a particularly late cycle, similar to the 2021 situation ②. Crops will therefore be more vulnerable at the end of the season. To be monitored.
05
Brazil - Is the moisture situation in the southern region beneficial for crops?
Yes
Vegetation indices in Paraná remain above average ①, with crop vigor supported by currently high soil moisture levels in the southern part of the country ②.
06
Argentina - Do vegetation indices still indicate an extension of the crop cycle?
Yes
Vegetation indices are well above average across the country, particularly in Buenos Aires province ①, with NDVI values indicating an extended crop cycle ②, which is positive for yields but may also signal a risk of grain quality deterioration. To be monitored.
07
Europe - Is some rainfall expected in the coming days?
Yes
Precipitation over the past 30 days has been well below average across most of the continent ①. In the coming days, although dry conditions will continue to dominate, models are forecasting some rainfall, particularly in France and Spain according to ECMWF ②.
08
Europe - Are vegetation indices collapsing due to the ongoing drought?
No
Vegetation indices appear relatively stable across the continent despite the ongoing dry conditions ①, with values in France, for example, still remaining acceptable at this stage ②.
09
Ukraine + Russia - Is crop growth delayed across part of the wheat area?
Answer Yes / No
Vegetation indices are low across parts of Ukraine and especially western Russia ①, with NDVI values in the Central District and western Volga indicating slow crop growth at this stage ②.
10
China - Do vegetation indices remain high across the wheat area?
Yes
Vegetation indices are above average in the core wheat production area ①, with a crop cycle that appears extremely early and vigorous this year ②.
