en.Wedoany.com Reported - In the latest episode of the Rural Book podcast, farmer, agronomist, and Agro CR consultant Daniel Cerri spoke with host Rodrigo Fraoli about the progress of cotton production in southern Tocantins, Brazil, and revealed high-yield data from local trial fields—some cotton varieties exceeded 300 arrobas per hectare, with the previous season's average surpassing 280 arrobas.
The episode was recorded in Figueirópolis, Tocantins, as the Rural Book podcast expedition traveled to Agrishow. Daniel recounted his career, the experience gained in Bahia, his arrival in Tocantins, and his current consultancy work covering approximately 80,000 hectares. The region is increasingly emerging through soybeans, corn, brachiaria grass, crop-livestock integration, agricultural research, and precision agriculture, with this conversation focusing specifically on high-yield cotton trials. Beyond the yield figures, the discussion also explored Tocantins' potential as a new agricultural frontier, addressing challenges such as soil, rainfall, logistics, storage, production costs, irrigation, second-crop planting, and crop rotation, while emphasizing the importance of truly transforming farms into rural enterprises.
Daniel also provided details on the Conecta Agro technical event. Scheduled for June 18-19 in Gurupi and Figueirópolis, the event will focus on soybeans, corn, cotton, soil fertility, field management, varieties, research, and practical field results. More information can be found on Agro CR's social media pages, or by listening to the full episode on Spotify and the ruralbook.com portal. For those looking to prepare for modern agriculture, the Fazenda Planejada (Planned Farm) platform also offers courses, e-books, and books focused on rural management, planning, and innovation.
