read several years ago about how the sons of american farmers were moving to brazil to farm because the land was so cheap compared to the US. I would say that these American farms/ the good brazilian farmers are making progress.

" Some people said to me they tryed to buy propriety in brasil and they did not "

motive: sold to brazilians only" !!!is that true???!!!

International Ag

There are some American farmers buying land in Brazil, as well as European farmers doing the same thing. With land going for what it is and the price of corn and beans, it's a smart investment. It is good for Brazil to have this business there. Read our publication about Brazilian agriculture at www.worldfarmforum.com. The pub is on the very top right of the homepage.

Soy bean and corn production in the Mato Grosso

All of the information from the press would lead one to believe that "local" people are the farmers who are making this area a breadbasket of the world. It's not factual! The research and development of the basis for growing these crops, the machinery, the varities, the pesticide development was all accompolished in the United States. This was done in our Universities, by companies doing research and development in the United States, and by those farmers seasoned and experenced by growing those same crops in the United States. Years ago these farmers moved operations to this area, realizing the potential, and vast acres were transformed over night to duplicated fields from IN, MO, OH, IL and other states. YES, this area will feed the world, IF the government infrastructure doesn't interfere with high taxes and restrictive, monoplistic actions. Time will tell, if that government takes a page from the book of the Petroleum Exporting countries, or from the United States free society.
