Ash can enrich the soil, so when all is said and done, the soil will be more fertial than it is right now.

Granited.

Soil is enriched after the blow, at least downwind.

But only after the devastation. How many years of ash will it be before Kansas, Colorado, Iowa, OK, and Nebraska wheat, corn, and soy bean fields are back at full production?

Quite true. Takes quite a long time for any benefits to show though and by then the myriad corpses produced by the ensuing starvation are doing much more for the biosphere then the ash.
