Lucky you're getting rain. It's been bone dry here in the Midwest for near a month, and the crops are failing. One farmer said the ground is dust dry over 9 feet deep, nothing but dry clay. If we don't get even a couple inches of rain in the next 2 weeks all of our crops are done for. You think food prices are bad now, wait until the fall when we don't harvest anything for the winter.
Because the rivers don't go exactly through our fields, and not every field has irrigation built in (in fact around where I am I'd say 95% DON'T) so yes the rainfall is important.
And get this: the locks and dams on the Mississippi river north of southern MN are CLOSED, meaning no barges or river travel is allowed on the river because the river is TOO SHALLOW for the barges to get through. The barges need a certain depth and the river is too small to get through now. Yes, rainfall is important.

FFS you have so many rivers, can the midwest not compensate for the lack of rainfall?

I never claimed rainfall wasn't important, and I never will.
Personally, and I predicted this in the past, I believe the Deep State is trying to engineer a famine ahead of an insurrection.
