Some Relief—But Not Enough
The Buenos Aires Grain Exchange said Thursday that rain could alleviate the worst of the drought as soon as next week, although a return to normal won’t be immediate.
“Precipitation will pick up, improving soil moisture reserves and moderating the intensity of heat waves, but the process will be slow,” the organization said earlier this month. “Only towards the end of March will the soils replenish their moisture reserves in most of the agricultural area.”
