Conteúdo: 	Farmers of small land holdings in Latin America produce the bulk of maize and dry beans althrough some large scale maize prouction occurs in Argentina, Uruguay, and parts of Mexico. Presently, small farmers rely on family or hired labour for weeding and other farming operations. While peak demand periods and seasonal labour scarcities exist, unemployment and under-employment prevail throught Central America and most of South America. The resulting low cost labour and relatively low product prices often preclude herbicides as an option to handweeding. By contrast soybean production is concentrated on large farms, mostly in Brazil. These commercial farm operations possess sufficient land and capital to use modern technology, including herbicides. Increased her-bicide use can be anticipated similar to that experienced in more developed regions.
