Roadside art comes in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes it’s a mural. Sometimes it’s a sculpture. And sometimes it’s 109 giant ears of concrete corn standing in the middle of a field.

Our first stop takes us into the cornfields of the Midwest. After seeing miles and miles of real corn, I did a double-take when I stumbled across this particular field. Why? Because it contains 109 people-sized ears of corn made entirely out of concrete.

The installation was created by artist Malcolm Cochran as a tribute to Sam Frantz, a local pioneer in the development of hybrid corn. Each ear stands proudly in neat rows, just like a real field—except these crops aren’t going anywhere.

If you’re wondering whether concrete corn counts as fine art, you’re not alone.

But one thing’s certain: it’s definitely a-maize-ing!
