World's Largest Ear of Corn: Olivia, Minnesota

The World's Largest Ear of Corn is planted on top of a gazebo in Olivia, Minnesota.

A monument to the fact that modern hybrid seed corn production began in Olivia, Minnesota -- "Minnesota's Corn Capital" -- this 25-foot ear is mounted atop a gazebo in Memorial Park.

Created in 1973, the Corn Monument tops its closely related cousin, the corny water tower in Rochester, Minnesota.
