I think It will end up higher. The corn in many areas is better than they thought. You are just seeing your small snap shot of the country. I have friends in SD that are having bumper crops. If we don't have an early frost then upper MN will have much better than normal crops.
So you add in all the areas that are at normal or above and the extra acres that got planted and the crop is not going to be as bad as many though/hoped.
