Day by day, zone by zone

The week opened on Monday the 28th at 3,460 trucks and rose every day to close on Friday at 6,080, the high of the period. The Rosario area went from 2,221 to 3,867 daily units. Bahía Blanca added 5,214 trucks, well above the 3,665 of late July, and a Friday of 1,287, nearly double Monday. Necochea held steady at around 700 per day.

Versus last week and versus 2025

The total was almost identical to a year ago (-1.8%), but with a very different mix. Corn added 5,235 trucks over 2025 (+97.1%) and soybeans had 5,556 fewer (-35%): one offsets the other almost exactly. Wheat, at the tail end of its marketing season, is still 16.8% above last year.

Market context

Weather: the missing rain arrived

September had been dry and wheat was starting to lose potential. In the last week of the month the core region received around 25 mm, almost 80% of all September rainfall. Wheat fields in fair condition fell from 15% to 7%, and early corn planting, held back by lack of moisture, could resume.

Prices: Rosario steady, Chicago lower

The Rosario cash market ended the week with few changes. Soybeans and wheat traded at a steady pace, and corn gained buyers and open positions on Friday, though with lower volume. In Chicago, grains closed mostly lower: corn remained under pressure from higher-than-expected US stocks, and soybeans from a large projected US harvest.

Season: corn still arriving and a new planting

With the 2025/26 corn harvest nearly complete and much of the grain still on its way to port, corn sustains the truck flow while soybeans arrive more slowly. At the same time, the 2026/27 season is starting: the rain allows pending early-corn hectares to move ahead, which in the coming weeks may split attention between planting and deliveries.
