Field of Giant Corn Ears

The Field of Giant Corn on the Cob in Dublin, Ohio is a unique and quirky art display featuring 109 people-sized ears of concrete corn. Originally a corn field farmed by Sam Frantz, an inventor of hybrid corns, the site now serves as a tribute to his work and is named Sam and Eulalia Frantz Park. Created by Ohio artist Malcolm Cochran, the artwork symbolizes the death of agriculture in the face of suburban sprawl and has become one of Ohio's top public artworks.

The concrete ears of corn, arranged in neat rows, are each facing a different direction and are made using three different molds. Visitors can explore the park and learn about hybridization through informative signs. Despite its serious intent, the Field of Giant Corn has become a popular spot for visitors to take photos and enjoy the whimsical atmosphere.
