Well I wanted a Drought!

Question for everyone who needs rain. How far down to moisture ? I talked to a friend who needed rain terribly to germ the planted crop but had lots of moisture a little deeper. I remember trenching in a water line through a written off crop in 1988 and there was no moisture down 8 feet. I get the impression now that one good rain will make the moisture meet up and we are on the way. On our own farm in the southeast we have been so wet since 2010 that the sloughs are still leaking water and we made lots of bad ruts during seeding. hope to see some rain this weekend though

Drought is defined as a long period of dryness or lack of moisture that in injurious to crops, when I said I am facing a possible drought in the face, I think I am correct. This could get ugly here. No way I will grow a crop on "reserve" moisture without a little help from the sky.
