In the first four months of 2023 the SIGLeA recorded a cumulative of +0.3% compared to the same period in 2022, a +86.000 liters of milk/day.
The Girl was, but not its effects: the lack of silajes and other reserves, points out that 70% of the dairy farms do not meet the requirements of the full year and are administered with the hope of being able to fill the pothole with winter crops. Seeing the map of soil moisture from the National Weather Service (NWS) shows that the basins on the East have been recovered moisture like to think about sowing wheat, while those in the West are not yet in a position to do so without assuming risk (although dairy farmers are to take risks!).
While the shortage of fiber as it comes acuciando, as there is stock of megafardos as at other times, they appear to offers of materials usually used for the beds of the cows as are the peanut shells, rice, sawdust...but to feed the cows!
In the following chart we open a detail of how we get to a first quarter with 86,000 lt/d more milk and see 3 provinces important in their contribution to the volume nacional (Córdoba 37%, Santa Fe 34%, and Among Rivers 5% of the total volume) with accumulated negative:
Opening this provincial information at a dairy area within each province, it is interesting to observe that the cases of increases of production (liters/day/tambo by number of drums) over the last year are the basins of córdoba with the highest number of dairy farms confined to the South and Villa María (they can not stop eating!) and the basins buenos aires West, and the Sea and Mountains that were in that period, higher levels of moisture in the soil:
The rearrangement of the moisture in the soil profile, referred to with the first image, produced in may, preventing the normal planting of verdeos and pastures so that the grass will be a food scarce this winter. The good news is that many begin to sow wheat with the founded hope that The Child will accompany the cultivation and achieve to cover the bump to get to the corn first ensilable in January/February 2024. To close the first half need to see the roll may and June that are very likely to depress the +0.3% in the first quarter. The next semester will be challenging without a doubt.
