The document provides a weekly crop report and agricultural weather outlook from the Buenos Aires Grain Exchange for the week of March 19, 2015. It summarizes crop conditions and harvest progress for soybeans, corn, and sunflowers. For soybeans, harvest is underway in central regions with above average yields, while some northern areas remain flooded. Corn harvest is 5.6% complete with above average yields reported. Sunflower harvest is 60.3% complete and on track to meet production estimates of 2.6 million tons. The agricultural weather outlook predicts high temperatures and little rain across most growing areas, followed by cooler temperatures and potential frosts in southern regions later in the week.

WEEKLY AGRICULTURAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
BUENOS AIRES GRAINS EXCHANGE
March 19, 2015
AGRICULTURAL WEATHER OUTLOOK: MARCH 19 TO 25, 2015: High temperatures and scarce precipitations over most part of the agriculutral area, followed by a sharp temperature decrease.
OUTLOOK SUMMARY At the beginning of the perspective, northerly winds will bring high temperatures to most part of the agricultural area. Towards the middle of the perspective, the passage of a Pampero front will bring abundant precipitations to the west of the region. The rest of the agricultural area , however, will observe scarce rainfalls. Coupled with the front and in coincidence with the start of Autumn, the entrance of winds coming from the southeast will lead to a sharp temeprature decrease, with likelihood of local frosts in the south of the ag. Region.
SOYBEAN Within the last seven days, there was significant plot and road recovery in areas that had been flooded since early this month. At the same time, harvest started in the central region, with yields above historic averages, meeting the elevated initial expectations. Consequently, bearing in mind that nationwide harvest is not yet significant, productive projection remains at 57,000,000 tons this season. There are still many flooded plots in the mid-north of Crdoba, mid-north of Santa Fe, and the north belt. The soybean area affected by water excess throughout the region is estimated as 850,000 hectares, out of which 200,000 hectares, 1 % of the national area, will not be harvested for being on low grounds. Productive outlook is still high, since weather conditions were good during most of the crop cycle. In the north belt region, yield expectations on first plots remained at 4 Tn/Ha within the last four weeks. Nevertheless, first plots collected yielded an average between 4 and 4.8 Tn/Ha. Likewise, the south belt
presents a similar framework, where early plots yielded from 3.8 to 4.5 Tn/Ha. Toward the mid-north of Santa Fe, yield expectations in the last month posted around 3 Tn/Ha. In the last few days water deficits were observed in parts of the NE Area, and many areas of Buenos Aires were unable to recover soil moisture, despite the rainfalls received.
CORN Commercial corn harvest is spreading to the rest of the Pampa region. So far, 5.6 % of the area was harvested, which is estimated at 3.14 MHa. Overall, more than 172 thousand hectares were harvested, accruing a farm volume of over 1.5 MTn, averaging a yield of 8.9 Tn/Ha nationwide. Week-on-week advance posted 2.2 %+, and YOY decrease was -1.4 %. Toward the north and south belt regions, harvest yields are in excess of 10 Tn/Ha, peaking up to 13 Tn/Ha. The mid-north of Cordoba has started harvesting the first early plots, with yields above historic averages. In the south of Cordoba, harvest productivities range between 5 and 9 Tn/Ha. In the last few days in the mid-east of Entre Ros and mid-north of Santa Fe, harvest has moved at good pace, yielding very good values, aided by favorable weather. Toward the north of La Pampa-west of Buenos Aires, yields are nearing 8.2 Tn/Ha on average. Based on these conditions, productive estimates remain at 22,500,000 Tons. This final volume would fall by -16.6 % from last season.

SUNFLOWER Harvest fieldwork has continued nationwide this last week, concentrating in the sunflower growing area of the SW of Buenos Aires-south of La Pampa, SE of Buenos Aires and center of the ag region. To date, 60.3 % of the area was harvested, accounting for 748,000 Ha, accruing a farm volume of 1.6 MTn. Week-onweek advance is 25.1 %, with an average yield of 2.2 Tn/Ha nationwide. Therefore, productive projection remains at 2,600,000 tons for year 2014/15. Toward the center of Buenos Aires, north of La Pampa west of Buenos Aires, and the Salado basin, harvest has made good progress this week, yielding an average of 2.2 Tn/Ha. The SW of Buenos Aires-south of La Pampa and SE of Buenos Aires reported significant harvest progress, with yields maintaining a bullish trend and exceeding historic averages. Current average is around 2.3 Tn/Ha, over a harvested area of 860 thousand Ha.
