O.K. all you experts. I live in the deep south and usually plant my corn in a furrow. I have heard several opinions. Does planting in a furrow actually help corn, especially in a dry year?

Are you using what is called a Lister? Makes a furrow and plants the seed in the bottom, leaving the furrow open? We don't have them here, but I understand they are used in dry areas that receive rainfall in heavy, short bursts (Texas is one place). The idea is, that when it rains hard and fast, the furrows catch all the water and keep it near the plants instead of letting run off of the field.

The furrow allows the seed to be planted into moisture for good germination. Make sure the seed is at least 1 1/2 - 2 inches deep.

I'm a little confused. What is your definition of a furrow? Around here all planters use disc openers, so it all goes in a hole. If it's dry, then plant the corn about 2 to 2.5" deep (providing it's warm). Good seed to soil contact is important. Give me a definition of furrow and I'll be able to help more.
