"In a large grassy field off of the highway in Dublin, there stand 109 human-sized ears of corn each standing at 6 feet 3 inches (1.9 m) tall and each weighing in at a whopping 1500 pounds (680 kg.)," the Silly America reports.

"Known to some as the Field of Giant Corn Cobs, to others as the Cement Corn Field and, to others, as “Cornhenge Ohio” (not to be confused with Carhenge Nebraska, especially since this Ohio attraction actually has nothing to do with the famous English stones) this Ohio roadside attraction is actually called “Field of Corn (with Osage Oranges)” and was designed and created by artist Malcolm Cochran, a professor of sculpture at the Ohio State University. The Dublin corn field was commissioned by Dublin Art Council’s Dublin Art in Public Places program and was installed in 1994.

"While this weird roadside attraction might just look like a field of white concrete corn, there’s actually a lot of meaning behind these Ohio corn statues. The field itself was once farmed by Sam Frantz, a leader in the use and research of hybridized corn and the art installation symbolizes the history of the community’s farming legacy and serves as a memorial to rural landscapes"

"It's supposed to be ironic, this former corn field, now sprouting 109 people-sized ears of concrete corn in a large oddball art display. But it's also a salute to Sam Frantz, an inventor of hybrid corns, and a very weird sight along the highway," the Roadside America reports.

"Frantz farmed this site from 1935 to 1963, using it as as a study field for tasty mutant strains. Frantz was "well known for his development of hybrid corn seeds," and worked with Ohio State University on hybridization projects. He donated this land, now named Sam and Eulalia Frantz Park, after its farming days were over.

"An Ohio artist, Malcolm Cochran, was brought in by the Dublin Arts Council to create the environment of corn. He completed the artwork -- which he named "Field of Corn" -- on October 30, 1994. A row of old Osage Orange Trees anchors the west side of the park, where you'll find signs explaining hybridization and describing the project."

"Field of Corn (with Osage Orange Trees) is Dublin Art Council’s third Dublin Art in Public Places program project. The sculpture includes 109 human-sized (6 ft. 3 in. or 1.9 m) tall ears of corn that stand upright in realistic row patterns. The installation symbolizes the history of the community’s farming legacy and serves as a memorial to rural landscapes," the Dublin Arts Council says.

"The project was commissioned by the Dublin Art in Public Places program of the Dublin Arts Council through a juried competition to develop a significant work of art for the small park, owned by the City of Dublin. The proposal from Columbus, Ohio artist Malcolm Cochran, a professor of sculpture at the Ohio State University, was chosen.

"Field of Corn (with Osage Orange Trees) stands in a highly visible field that was once farmed by Sam Frantz, a leader in the use of hybridized corn. Frantz’s widow, Eulalia Frantz, attended the dedication of the sculpture, with their daughter and son. With support of the Dublin Historical Society, the site has now been named Frantz Park."

World's Largest Field Of Corn Cobs Sculptures DETAILS:

• The sculpture’s medium is white architectural precast concrete.
• There were three full-sized prototypes created, each with different kernel patterns, from which molds were made.
• Finished ears were rotated to provide a variety of orientations so that an observer is hard pressed to find any matching kernel patterns.
• Casting took place at a concrete manufacturer in the State of Georgia and were delivered to the Ohio site in four truckloads for installation.
• Each ear of corn weighs 1500 lbs. (680 kg.)
• The foundation for each ear is a 3 ft. (0.9 m) deep concrete-filled hole.

"Field of Corn (with Osage Orange Trees) is a publicly funded art installation in the city of Dublin, Ohio. The installation consists of 109 concrete ears of corn positioned in rows and standing upright in a grassy field. At one end of the field are two rows of Osage-orange trees, one pre-existing and the other planted for the project. Sculpted by Malcolm Cochran, with landscaping by Stephen Drown and James Hiss, Field of Corn was commissioned by the Dublin Arts Council and completed in 1994.

"The display site, named the Sam and Eulalia Frantz Park, was originally farmed by Sam Frantz, an inventor of several hybrid corn species, and was donated to the city in the late twentieth century. The art installation is partly a tribute to Sam Frantz and is also intended to remind visitors of Dublin's agricultural heritage. Along the west side of the park, near the Osage orange trees, are signs that describe the project and explain hybridization.

"Three different molds were used to cast the concrete ears of corn, which stand about 6 feet (1.8 m) tall.[4] The breed of corn represented is known as Corn Belt Dent Corn, a double-cross hybrid variety. The ears are rotated in several directions to make it appear as if each ear is unique. They were cast at a precast concrete manufacturer, Cook & Ingle Co., in Dalton, Georgia. Each ear weighs 1,500 lb (680 kg).

"Field of Corn has become a popular piece of public art in the Central Ohio Community. The display received "Best of Columbus" honors by readers of Columbus Monthly magazine each year of its nomination since 2008, including four #1 awards as best public artwork in central Ohio." (Wikipedia)

"Field of Corn (with Osage Orange Trees) is the name of this curious roadside attraction in Dublin, Ohio’s Franz Park, at 4995 Rings Road," the Ohio Traveler says.

"There are 109 ears of corn made from concrete, each standing over 6 feet tall in this creative artwork; you may walk through year-round from dawn to dusk.

"It’s a favorite stop for Ohio travelers passing anywhere near the Greater Columbus area. Stop for the awe, history, or pure novelty of it. Have a picnic, take some fun photos, and have a few laughs. A cell tour is available at 614-368-6999."

"Field of Corn (with Osage Oranges) was dedicated on Oct. 30, 1994, a massive display of 109 human-sized ears of corn standing upright in rows. Members of the Frantz family, including Eulalia, attended the dedication and spoke to the crowd," the WOSU Public Media reports.

"Not everyone in Dublin was a fan of the new work, but over time the sculpture has become part of the fabric of the city, with photos of the work featured in promotional materials and even family Christmas cards. The city of Dublin even celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Cornhenge with an all-day corn-themed festival.

“Probably the best public works are controversial to begin with," Cochran remarked in his interview with Ann Fisher. "If they’re universally loved to start with, then it’s something that’s really familiar.”

"This is an interesting sculpture field of ears of carn. Located in front of a business. It is nice for photos. You can get out and walk around or take pictures as you drive by."

"There is plenty of signage to explain why the field of corn is on display. Got to get out of your car and walk to the display. The field honors the planters and harvesters of corn in the Dublin area going back to ancient times with more native peoples all the way to modern times."

"Hilarious and worth a stop if you’re driving through. But make sure to Google the history and purpose before or after you visit. Easy to find in a suburban area located in an office park. Close parking for a short walk and photo."

"It is humorous and kind of a staple in Ohio. Since we always get told that the only thing we have is corn fields. Now we have literal corn statues. Always brings a smile to my face when we drive by."

"This is a strange attraction out in the middle of no where. That's what makes it so special. Dozens and dozens of concrete ears of corn. These are the gems to find when you are out and about."

"The field of giant ears of corn never fails to put a smile on my face. This roadside attraction pays homage to the area’s once-rural agricultural background and perhaps makes a statement as to the loss of farmland that was once so prevalent in the area," the Travel Inspired Living says.

"One wouldn’t expect to see a field of corn in the middle of Dublin, yet that’s exactly what you’ll find, surrounded by corporate buildings and traffic lights. Thirteen rows with a total of 109 concrete ears of corn that stand over six feet tall comprise Cornhenge as it’s referred to by locals, also known as the Field of Corn (with Osage Orange Trees) by the artist who dreamed up this outdoor exhibit.

"The project, by artist Malcolm Cochran, a professor of sculpture at Ohio State University was commissioned by the Dublin Art in Public Places program and dedicated October 30, 1994, on land that was once farmed by Sam Frantz who developed hybrid corn. The park where you’ll find the is now named Frantz Park."

"Commissioned by the Dublin Arts Council and completed in 1994, Field of Corn (with Osage Oranges Trees) consists of 109 six-foot, white ears of concrete corn that sprout right from the ground just off the highway. It was designed by artist Malcolm Cochran, a professor of sculpture at the Ohio State University. Molds taken of three original sculptures were used to cast ears which were then rotated to provide a variety of angles so each cob appears unique to the observer," the Atlas Obscura says.

"The installation sits on a former cornfield that was worked by farmer Sam Frantz. Frantz worked with The Ohio State University on the creation of several species of hybrid corn. The sculptures were specifically modeled to look like the Corn Belt Dent Corn varietal. While the work is meant to honor both Frantz and Ohio’s rich agricultural past, at first many locals saw the food-shaped concrete as nothing more than an ironic joke: tax dollars spent to honor food farmers ending up creating inedible food.

"However as time went on, the field of concrete ears has become something of a town icon. Locals have held weddings in the field, nearby office workers visit in the winter to play in the snow among the strange sculptures and most of Dublin now embraces the installation."

"Field of Corn (with Osage Orange Trees) is a concise example of one of Cochran's outdoor commissions. The site chosen for the piece by Dublin, OH was a large traffic island, cut off from neighborhood subdivisions by two roads. In researching the site, Cochran discovered that the land had been farmed fo 1800 years and had been owned by a leading corn hybridizer in the 1940s and '50s," the Ohio Outdoor Sculpture says.

"To honor this endeavor, Cochran placed 109 concrete ears of corn, each approximately six feet high, into the ground in even rows. The resulting piece refers naturally to a cornfield, but closely resembles the identical white grave markers in Arlington National Cemetery.

"Cochran finished the piece by creating a row of text panels that explain the history of corn production and set them among Osage orange trees that existed as part of the site and were traditionally used as windbreaks and field dividers. From Malcolm Cochran [re] collection, 1999."
