Corn Argentina The corn harvest had its biggest weekly advance since it started with 3.2 percent of fields harvested last week. That brings the total harvest accomplished to 10 percent of the area. As the combines advance, low and very heterogeneous yields are being confirmed. Not only are yields below historical averages but they are also below what was expected a few days ago due to the lack of rain during critical periods. Of the unharvested area, 63 percent of the early corn is good to excellent, while the late corn is 95 percent good/excellent. The Buenos Aires Grain Exchange last week lowered its production estimate from 51 to 49 MMT. This is in line with the 40-50 MMT estimated by most of the market. Truck arri...

From WPI Consulting
Illuminating the value of technical research
On behalf of a commodity producer organization, WPI evaluated the outputs from a project that featured a $5 million investment into technical research over multiple years. WPI’s team captured the results of this extensive effort and synthesized them for presentation to the organization’s governing board; among the findings uncovered and presented for the first time was the development of genomic traits proven, via rigorous testing, to provide crop yield advantages of 50 percent or more to U.S. farmers in times of drought. Capturing measurable results from long-term efforts can be challenging. Educating clients on the dynamics of success measurement when quantifiable results are not readily available requires deep client-consultant collaboration and an ability to consider both near- and long-term client aspirations with market/policy dynamics – attributes that WPI brings to every consulting engagement.
