Like Burt Lancaster's magnetic character in the 1950s film 'The Rainmaker', who barnstormed the windswept tumbleweed towns of the drought-ravaged American prairie selling empty promises of rain, the rainmakers of popular imagination are never quite what they claim to be. But what about the rainmaker stories that appear from time to time in farm journals and rural newspapers across the American farm belt - personal accounts from farmers who claim success with rainmakers?
