Santa Matilde Farm strives for excellence in the quality of its products and the optimization of its production capacity, bringing together the most relevant production technologies to achieve this goal. Each year the plantation areas are modified due to pressure from pests and market time (internal and external), that means, there is no exact amount of production of each grain per year, there is an estimated production. What we anticipate is that the farm has an average output of 80,000 tons of corn, 60,000 tons of soybeans, 8,000 tons of beans per year. The farm has 2,000 hectares of irrigated area at the time, consisting of 25 pivots of irrigation. There are being installed 22 more pivots of irrigation, which will generate over 1,850 hectares of irrigated area by the end of 2016. The system consists of: soy bean planting on September / October / November with harvest in January / February / March. After harvesting soy or beans is planted the corn, which begins to be harvested in June / July / August. The farm has the capacity to store about 60,000 tons of grain.
