Argentina wheat may be subject to frost Sunday and Monday nights in northern Buenos Aires and Cordoba. Wheat development is advanced, increasing the risk of damage. If wheat has reached the flowering stage, severe damage is possible, but it would require a hard freeze in the 20s F.
Wheat was semi-dormant in July with cool winter temperatures, but August turned very warm stimulating rapid growth and development. The top wheat province Buenos Aires was X to Y above average in August pushing crop development. Traders at the Buenos Aires Cereals Exchange claimed this week that wheat is entering the “yield determining” stage and would be subject to damage from intense frost.
The forecast calls for minimum temperatures of 30-32 F Sunday and Monday nights in northern Buenos Aires and neighboring Cordoba, both important wheat growing areas. Normally the final spring freeze occurs early in September. Because of summer like warmth in August, wheat development is well advanced and vulnerable to damage from a late spring freeze.
Their crop is at the same stage as the Us was when it frose a few years ago. just heading or headed and flowering.
Watch the weather 1st strike could be coming for wheat. Us acreage for winter wheat could be second.
