BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Argentina’s consortium of agricultural companies, CREA, said that the country could lose over $20 billion this year due to agricultural losses caused by a historic drought and mid-summer frosts that hit most of its productive regions, ThePrint reported citing Reuters. CREA has now slashed its forecasts for corn harvest from 55.2 million tons estimated six months ago to 38.6 million tons for the 2022-23 season, while it is expecting a soybean harvest of 31.2 million tons, down from an initial forecast of 50 million tons.
