Producers from Entre Ríos reported that the rains caused a favorable change mainly in areas where irrigation is carried out through deep wells, such as in the departments of Villaguay, Colón, San Salvador, Uruguay and Concordia.
Likewise, the water that has occurred during the last few weeks “has not been enough” to reestablish an adequate level in plots irrigated by dams, fundamentally in the departments of Feliciano, Federación and Federal, and in areas irrigated by rivers or streams, such as in the department of La Paz.
In these sectors, “it is not feasible to maintain irrigation permanently,” the stock market entity considered.
The record drought was described as the worst in the last 60 years according to provincial records, and caused “devastating” ecological and economic effects, according to the Cereal Exchange.

Rainfall records for last December in Entre Ríos were among the ten lowest in the last 60 years, and the rains for that month accumulated less than 20 millimeters, six times less than what should normally rain.
