For atmospheric physics reasons I won't got into, the weather is less predictable in summer than it is in the winter. So ten day rainfall forecasts should be viewed with more than a grain of salt.
However, because a number of people, today, have been asking about the rainfall amount forecasts for the corn and soybean areas, here is the ECMWF's model's forecast rainfall amounts for the next ten days.
Great Plains
Midwest

In many areas, the predicted amounts are below average, especially in the Midwest. The two weeks have seen rainfall percents quite a bit lower than normal.
Given the dryness already in progress and the potential for continued dryness, the concerns about inadequate moisture seem well-founded.
