e0“There was a significant relation between pre-seasonal precipitation and the yield secured from year to year on both the fallowed and stubble plots of a summerfallow-wheat-wheat rotation, above-average moisture being associated with increased yields.”

- Association Preseason precipitation significantly related to annual yields on fallowed plots; above-average moisture accompanied greater yield.
- Association Marquis wheat yields in more fertile summerfallowed variety plots were not significantly correlated with preseason precipitation.
- Association Preseason precipitation had no consistent relation to relative yield across maturity groups.
- Association May-to-July rainfall was significantly positively correlated with wheat yield in central crop districts.
- Association May-to-July rainfall was significantly positively correlated with wheat yield in southern crop districts.
- Association Southern district yields were positively correlated with preseason precipitation.
- Association Central district yields were not positively correlated with preseason precipitation.
- Observation Rainfall-yield correlations were 0.74 in central districts and 0.79 in southern districts.
- Method / resource The observed precipitation-yield association was inadequate for practical annual production forecasts.
