Consists of 109 human-sized ears of concrete corn (6 feet) that stand upright in realistic row patterns against a backdrop of Osage orange trees in Sam and Eulalia Frantz Park. Created in 1994 by Malcolm Cochran, the field stands as a celebration of Dublin's history as a farming community and serves as a memorial to rural landscape being consumed by urban development.

There are three different "ears" from which the whole field was cast. The height of the corn is intended to strike a balance between being large enough to be impressive from a distance, yet modest enough to have an intimate, human scale when viewed up close.

The site of the Corn Field was once owned by Sam Frantz, a pioneer in corn hybridization.
