STORY: :: Heavy rainfall floods Argentina's farms and threatens its crops:: San Antonio de Areco, Argentina:: May 21, 2025:: Martin Vivanco, Farmer"This has been one of the most impressive rains I've seen. I'm 68 years old and I was here during the previous one, considered one of the most severe, which was in 2009, with 300 millimeters falling in three days. But this one was much worse, with 400 millimeters in 24 hours." //"What I believe will be more complicated is the next production cycle. We're already in mid-May, late May, and wheat should be planted in June. With this level of humidity, flooding, and water-related problems in the soil, I think it's going to be very difficult. So the overall outlook is complex, not simple."The excessive humidity has delayed the harvest, increasing the risk of crop diseases, and potentially impacting Argentina's soybean yield, according to Vivanco.But his biggest worry was how the next production cycle would be affected.The Buenos Aires Grain Stock Market warned that the soybean production might suffer substantial losses, as 730,000 hectares of soybeans remain unharvested due to ongoing heavy rains since early autumn.
