Mato Grosso do Sul and Goias are now over half done with harvest. Farmers in Mato Grosso have combined 79% of the soybean area. There are quality concerns for soybeans in Mato Grosso, Minas Gerais, Bahia, Piaui and Rondonia due to excessive moisture. Low yields are still being reported in Rio Grande do Sul and Parana.
