It rarely stays dry for a very long time in the corn belt. A lot of the corn belt gets too wet in the spring. So if the soil starts out dry it will give the water somewhere to go when it does rain. Some of our best wheat yields have come when we planted with no subsoil moisture and then we get regular rains after planting, so much that if we had subsoil moisture it would have made it too wet for wheat. A little bit of a joke, since someone is trying to predict that next year will be like 2012.
