The first corn crop in Parana is 36% filling grain and 59% mature and the corn is rated 24% poor, 36% average, and 40% good.
Farmers are planting their safrinha corn as soon as they harvest their soybeans. The safrinha corn in Parana is 19% planted and the corn is rated 15% average and 85% good. The ideal planting window for safrinha corn closes about the third week of February. Corn planted after that date runs the risk of frost before the corn has a chance to mature.
