While Paraguayan authorities took starker approach at Covid-19 with further restrictions, we have continued land preparation work for soybean cultivation next season.

By now, 50% of the entire development process has been completed on the entire surface dedicated to soybean cultivation (1,100 ha).

Soybean land preparation involves plowing to “till” or dig-up, mix, and overturn the soil as you can see on the video and pictures. It also requires harrowing to break the soil clods into smaller mass and incorporate plant residue, and leveling the field.

Given the specificities of our farm’s soil (pH), the next step will be to apply a fertilizer rich in limestone to the freshly prepared land. We expect that all land preparation work will be completed by end of July.

Regarding our rice activity and given the fact that we sold all our production, we take advantage of this situation to offer to our neighbors our drying and storage facilities in order to generate incremental revenues.

As rains are back and pumping restrictions have been lifted, we take the opportunity to fill our reservoir which was completely empty given the intense drought we face earlier this year.
