The heat and drought cause discomfort to the Brasilia and damage to rural producers. The losses in production of soybeans, corn and beans are the worst in the last decade. Numbers from the Technical Assistance and Rural Extension of the DF (Emater) indicate a 35% reduction in grain crops, which depend on the rains for irrigation.
The low level of water sources failed to harm the producers of vegetables, but if the weather did not help, drought will bring problems for the sector. The last rain in DF happened on January 4, according to Inmet. To date, the accumulated rainfall of this month was 15 mm. The expected for January is 247 mm. Yesterday, the highest temperature was 30,8ºC and the humidity dropped to 30%. By the early evening, Mail readers reported rain in Ceilândia in EPTG in Structural, in West Lake in Santa Maria and Vicente Pires, but the institute stations had no record.
Rain showers should be intensified until February 3. According to meteorologist Marcia Seabra, if the forecast is confirmed, it may be that the temperature fall in the first month of the year and is within the historic organ average. The researcher at Embrapa Cerrado and president of the Paranoá Basin Committee, Jorge Werneck, warns that in 40 years, the volume of rainfall decreased from 1500 mm per cubic meter for 1200. In addition, the past two decades, the rains have gone from less intense and longer for stronger and short, and the dry period increased. "Saved the proper proportions, it is a little of what happens to Sao Paulo," he says.

According to Werneck, the combination of decreased rainfall and the concentration of rainfall directly impacts the flow of most rivers in the DF, which reflects the decrease in the level of the reservoirs in the region. "That accounts for all Agriculture. The DF, planned for a much smaller number of residents grows in a disorderly manner. The illegal occupation waterproof the land with buildings and asphalt, for example. This reduces water infiltration into the soil and consequently the power of the water table that sustain river flows in the dry season. "
One of the owners of Finance Stanislaus, the soybean producer Sydney Petes Izoton calculates a loss of almost 50%. A serving of grains that would yield five grams weigh around a grass. He hopes to earn enough just to cover the loss. "We lacked water just at the time when the grain ripens. Then, the soybean pods were small, and the seeds, withered. No weight, the yield will be weak. The profit went down the drain," he laments. The bean producer Genédio Miles lost 100% of the plantation. "We lacked rain and was very hot. The beans cooked in the pod. My loss hits $ 270,000," says.
Technicians of the DF Farm Bureau shall present a balance of losses across the region to the ministries of Agriculture and Finance. The intention is to extend the Rural producers of funding installments to pay for Crop period and thereby minimize the impact of the loss. "We will suffer a reduction of grain more than 200 thousand tons due to this prolonged Drought and intense heat. In severe situations like this, we have to ensure the extension of the maturity of funding. Bean loss may impact on the final price, but is early to estimate. in the case of soybeans and corn, we must follow the production in other states. If strong, can also impact the price of chicken meat and pork, later, "said Agriculture Secretary José Guilherme Leal .
The estimate of the Rural Union losses is worse. According to the bank's chairman, Luis Angelo Cappellee, injury can reach 50%. "The problem is the Drought in a critical phase of cultures. We who are producers, we have not seen so temperatures in January in the last 10 years," he says. Engineer agronomist of the Agricultural Cooperative DF (Coopa-DF), Claudio Malinski agree. "Only the rain can help us alleviate the problem. The financial loss to the DF can reach $ 30 million. As each day passed without rain, the situation becomes more critical," he laments.
