Uruguay – Update on Santa Maria farm activities (December 2017).

Winter crops: 100 hectares planted with barley have been harvested so far and 264 hectares are remaining.

The 40 hectares planted with OAT are almost harvested. Our OAT production is directly delivered to a Uruguayan malt house with which we are cooperating since years.

Summer crops (Soybean & Corn): 500 hectares are planted with soybean #1, of which 425 hectares have already been sowed. We are targeting a yield of 2,8 tons/ha. We will then doublecrop soybean over 400 hectares.

As for corn, we are going to start soon with the sowing of 290 hectares. We are targeting a yield of 5,5 tons/ha for this crop.

Cattle activities: The entire herd is in very good shape and has access to dense pasture as you can see. For this cycle, we are targeting to produce 475 tons of meat with an average herd of 3,100 heads.

Currently, we have around 920 cows in spring service.
