Summary of Duas Safras no RS | Programa Terra Sul

00:00:00 - 00:05:00

In the "Duas Safras no RS" YouTube video by Terra Sul, Roberto Pedroso de Oliveira discusses strategies to enhance corn production in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, through the "Duas Safras" event organized by Farsul and Embrapa Clima Temperado. Embrapa was contracted to identify key technologies for grain farming, particularly in lowland areas. Two technologies were presented: using long Camaleons for improved drainage and applying soybean juice to irrigate or drain millet fields. Additionally, rice was proposed as an alternative to corn for animal feed. The initiative aims to fill a 4 million tonne gap in corn production by collaborating with Embrapa's research centers and utilizing their training and technology diffusion branches. The video also covers the selection of new producers for demonstrative areas and capacity building for agents responsible for Farsul and Senar.

• 00:00:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Duas Safras no RS | Programa Terra Sul," Roberto Pedroso de Oliveira discusses strategies to increase corn production in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The event, "Duas Safras," was organized by Farsul and Embrapa Clima Temperado in response to the grain shortage in the state. Embrapa was contracted by Farsul to help identify key technologies for producers in the areas of both meat production and grain farming, specifically corn. The focus was on producing more corn in lowland areas, which currently face challenges in expressing their full productive potential. Two technologies were presented: the use of long Camaleons for better drainage and the use of soybean juice for Camaleons to irrigate or drain millet fields when necessary. Additionally, rice was suggested as an alternative to corn for animal feed. The goal is to fill the 4 million tonne gap in corn production in Rio Grande do Sul by collaborating with Embrapa's research centers in Concórdia, Santa Catarina, and Passo Fundo, and utilizing their training and technology diffusion branches.
• 00:05:00 In this section of the "Duas Safras no RS" YouTube video by Terra Sul, the focus is on the identification of new producers for demonstrative areas and the planning of capacity building for agents responsible for Farsul and Senar, as well as finalizing arrangements with Embrapa research units. Producers who participate in their annual projects will be the ones selected for this initiative. Music plays in the background as the speaker discusses the next steps in the process.
