Iowa’s Tallest Corn Silo Debuts | Des Moines News

Iowa just unveiled its tallest ear of corn—actually a giant painted silo standing proudly off Highway 60 at Hawkeye Point, a quirky roadside park born in 2008 from local FFA students’ vision. After a fall painting spree, the corn cob attraction drew over 150 visitors for its grand opening, complete with pancakes and music. Locals and tourists alike are flocking to the spot—drivers who once passed by now pull over, even contractors and a busload of New York teens. It’s become a national draw, praised by tourism leaders as a treasure that celebrates Iowa’s unique flat-topped high point. Visitors can even watch it live online.
