I think that's exactly what we are getting this year.
I live south of Kankakee, IL and the farmers were out in the field planting corn but you could barely see them. Around 4pm it got so dark I thought storm clouds were moving in but nothing on the radar for 100 miles.
Hmmn, last I heard the midwest was flooded. Now the soil is so dry it blocks the sun when worked ? That points to serious soil depletion. You guys need some compost for top dressing.
It hasn't rained here in a week and the farmers are finally getting back into the fields. It doesn't matter how wet the soil is but rather how exposed it is and how high the wind speed is.

Before yesterday, it hadn't rained here in about 2 weeks. It has since rained and the dust is now gone.
