Didn't know Missouri ever got dry.
Its all relative. Our average is 43inches i think. Our clay based soils I have seen winters like last where i have stepped T-posts in to the spade. Right now it is baked hard. Have trouble getting step in posts to go in far enough hold the electric wire up... I'll be damned if i start carrying a drill. This is the biggest reason I changed grazing management, try to build by organic matter to coast through the dry spells better.
Corn is tasseling here Richard.
