Corn, Soy, Wheat, Barley and Sorghum are grown in Uruguay in year round production. Soy, Corn or Sorghum through the Summer and Wheat or Barley during the winter, providing two crops per year.
With a rain fall of 1400 mm per year and a flat rainfall patten it very different to see crops in such different stages of production. Harvest the soy and plant the wheat the next day.
Irrigation is just getting started to try and even out the seasons. So far it's not been that
successfull. In the past four years it's been turned on once due to not needing it due to sufficient rainfall to not being able to turn it on due to not enough rain to fill the dams. Look good but!
