ARGENTINA –Lack of rains, heat waves and wind in Corrientes farms (August 2021).

Currently, we have all the elements of an explosive cocktail combined in Corrientes which could potentially affect our farms, mainly our forest: Lack of rains, heat waves and wind. The level of the river Santa Lucia which is bordering our farms is very low. Rain is rare but high temperatures are frequent currently.

The region of Corrientes has been classified in extreme vigilance by the authorities for forest or brush fires.

In addition to the deep cleaning operation we have performed after last year fires in Tata Cua forest, internal roads have been extended and all sections bordering roads have been cleaned to prevent from a new fire.

We also uproot palm trees near our tree plantation because in case of fire, they play a role of combustion gas pedal.

In Curupi Pora farm, our cattle herd (over 4,900 heads) are for now in very good shape even if the grassing area have reduced due to the ongoing weather conditions.

Our big natural lagoon where cattle come to drink and to refresh looks currently empty. We made also reserves in silage as a scorching summer is forecasted like in 2008.
