Moisture needs for mid summer crops explained by Volmert
U S Department of Agriculture researcher Les Volmert details soil moisture dynamics in drought prone July conditions. He notes that corn requires roughly 4400 gallons per bushel, and that loamy soils store water well while sandy soils drain quickly. A crop in mid summer evades drought best when soil depth supports root growth and water is applied at about one inch per week.
