Cattle operation: Dense pasture fields offer a very good coverage for our cattle. We have currently around 3,700 heads of cattle in very good shape and of high quality as you can see on the picture or on the video below.

Below you can see some heifers which weighs between 360 and 440kg. The heaviest are going to be sold to the slaughterhouses and the other are going to Santa Maria feedlot.

Crop operations: So far, rainfall registered is in line with annual historical average -not shortfall was recorded in January or February which are key months for crops activities (blooming stage).

Soybean #1: 720 hectares are going to be harvested in 25 days. We increased by 30% the sowing surface of this crop as it is provide a better soil reconstitution then corn which was originally budgeted. Furthermore, given the high quality of pastures available at the farm, we don’t need corn as food supplement for the animals.

Soybean #2: This crop was not originally budgeted but as we decided not to sow corn and want to retain seeds for next cycle, we panted 54 hectares of this crop. A treatment for insect pest is going to be applied.

Rice: The farm is delivering very good quality and yield for this grain. However, it’s hard to compare it with our Paraguayan production as soil, climate and variety produced are completely different.
