“Convidei o diretor de um dos maiores bancos privados do Brasil a percorrer hoje as lavouras no núcleo entre Sinop e Nova Mutum, através de estradas secundárias e de terra, totalizando 872km e certamente que mais de 2 milhões de hectares de abrangência. (Continua) Grandes grupos agrícolas se encontram nesta região, considerada um pólo com importância mundial no cenário de produção de grãos. A quebra será significativa e apontar percentuais neste momento é um chutômetro e total desrespeito a inteligência alheia.”

Here is my impression as a farmer about the drought that hits Mato Grosso (MT)

Soybean cycle

The varieties planted in MT have a cycle of 100 to 110 days mostly (some 90-95), having spent 30 days without rain means that they are at best 25% of the cycle without water 2:5
The result will be small plants. In my experience, 10-15% of the productive potential has already been lost even if the rains return.

Sandy soils

One of the characteristics of sandy soil at Mato Grosso is the natural acidity and acidity prevents the roots from deepening.
