Field of Corn Dublin, OH |
|
The Field of Corn was created in 1994 by Malcolm Cochran. The 109 ears of corn are made of concrete and bronze. The ears are about six feet tall and arranged in even rows. The site was used as a cornfield from 1935-1963 and became a park when it was donated to the city. This installation is a reminder of the town's heritage. Dublin is now a rapidly developing suburb.

Giant Ear of Corn Coon Rapids, IA |
||
This Giant Ear of Corn is part of the Garst Seed Company sign. The corn supposedly rotates but it wasn't when I took these photos in 2006. Garst was bought out by Syngenta in 2005. The sign's wording has been changed to "Coon Rapids, Natural Iowa." [map] |
Ear of Corn [gone] Minneapolis, MN |
Ear of Corn Olivia, MN |
Corn Water Tower Rochester, MN |
||
This Ear of Corn in Minneapolis was located in the Gaviidae Common Food Court when this photo was taken in 2008. I believe the food court and this statue are gone now.
This Ear of Corn in Olivia is 25 feet tall and was built in 1973. The fiberglass statue is installed on top of a gazebo in Memorial Park. Olivia claims to be the Corn Capital of the World. [map] The Corn Water Tower has a 60 feet tall ear of corn which is lit at night. It has been here at the Libby Foods' Seneca Foods plant since 1931. For more, see this website. [map] |
Ear of Corn Jonesville, LA |
Ear of Corn Casey, IL |
Cornstalk [gone] Hoopeston, IL |
|
This Ear of Corn in Jonesville is located at Chris Freeman Farms. I believe this was installed in 2021. [map]
This Ear of Corn in Casey was carved from a log with a chainsaw by Jim Bolin and installed downtown around 2017. [map] This Cornstalk sculpture in Hoopeston was 16 feet tall and is made of metal and wood. It was created by Dana Thomas in 2003. It had been installed at McFerren Park since 2004. These photos are from 2009. Hoopeston claims to be the "Sweet Corn Capital of the Nation". I believe this sculpture has been gone since at least 2015 unless it was moved elsewhere in the park. |
Handey's Farm & Nursery [gone?] Montgomery, AL |
Ear of Corn [gone] Lime Springs, IA |
|
The Handey's Farm & Nursery sign features a giant wood and metal ear of corn and two metal roosters. This photo is from 2010. Google Street View from 2013 shows the sign and roosters are still there. However, the ear of corn was gone. Perhaps it is only displayed when corn is available for sale.
This Ear of Corn was installed on a trailer and parked in front of the Lime Springs Fire Department and City Hall when these photos were taken in 2009. The ear was made with two-gallon milk jugs. It was originally built in 1993. This sculpture is either gone or it has been moved somewhere else. |
Ear of Corn Little Rock, IA |
Ear of Corn Pepperwood, CA |
||
This Ear of Corn in Little Rock probably advertises for Little Rock's annual Corn Show or is displayed there. Does anyone know who made this sculpture and when or more about it?
This six-foot-tall Ear of Corn in Pepperwood was carved from wood by 1952. There were once two of these sculptures installed at opposite ends of town. The town was devastated by flooding in both 1955 and 1964. At some point, a "Gone but Not Forgotten" plaque was placed on the Ear of Corn as a memorial. For more, see this website. [map] |

Wheat Hutchinson, KS |
|
These 19-foot-tall Wheat sculptures were installed on the metal screen of the Pegues department store building during a remodeling in 1956. The store closed in 1996 and the building now houses lofts and offices. [map] |
