Some tall corn from the Kansas Historical Society Facebook page:

You’ve probably heard the song lyrics “The corn is as high as an elephant’s eye.” These three men compare their height to corn stalks that grew to 20 feet tall on the Henry Boag farm in Jewell County. Depending on the variety, corn can typically grow anywhere from 7 to 16 feet. #kansashistory
