Nov 27 blog update MT and Goias trip

I see the previous blog post was very popular.
circa 2000 views

I was in MT last week. Not much more to say than what I put in
Nov part II newsletter. The crop is big. Lack of corn seed for
2nd crop is an issue going into 2017. Expect record area of planted
corn.

Dollar has rebounded back to 3.47. Soybeans continue to rally.
Life is good.

I will be in southern Goias this next week.

In have received photos out of Rio Verde, Goias. Ditto.
Soybeans are the darkest green ever.

Fertilizer shipments until October are 8% over last years pace.
This all bodes well for productivity.

Corn ethanol mill constuction in Lucas do Rio Verde is making
fantastic progress. Looks to be up and running by June 2017.

Chinese keep buying more businesses in Brazil.

I will include some photos I took from airplane near Sorriso, MT.
I think the photos tell the story.
