Iowa State University Extension Climatologist Elwynn Taylor says it may be folklore, but there is some reasonable evidence to think it will be a wet one.

He says this year fits the pattern that can give us a wet spring.

While a wet spring is a possibility, Taylor says another better than average yield is also a possibility.

Taylor made his comments during a stop in northwest Iowa.
