I'm not an atmospheric scientist but I have heard that the central corn belt has mostly stable rainfall totals each year due to two fairly independent sources of moisture. One is the jet stream that goes west to east across the continent, bringing moisture. The second is moisture coming up as remnants of hurricanes and tropical storms that originate in the Gulf of Mexico.
