How to build drought proof gardens in the Midwest.

Good morning folks! Blake wants to find out how I can build a drought proof garden in the Midwest without watering it so much. We've seen our crops and stuff drying out during the late spring and summer months and May and half of June was almost rainless. Hugelkultur a start, but looking for more. Is there an irrigation system that we could connect into our soil to keep cornfields from drying out? Please reach me at buffaloberryfield@gmail.com if you all need me. Take care!

My mistake. How could remove something from our pages we don't want? Thanks!

If you are not looking at doing earthworks, then your best bet is to grow your soil. Where are you in the mid-west?
What is your current situation? Soils, grade/terrain, general info?
There are a lot of ways to improve the moisture holding capacity of your soil. The biggest most known way is to increase the OM% (percentage of organic matter). Cover crops can achieve a lot of improvement as well.
Tell us what you are working with and what crops you like to grow.
