Very nice Trevor. I want a couple of shallow corn fields on my layout
but was never happy with what I saw--you got it right! And yes you will
have to install some fencing to keep those cows away.
A great place to put a few rows is where the background blends into the
layout itself. With that in mind, a few years ago I had purchased some
corn plants that were made from an etched sheet of brass. It had very
nice leaf detail, but I couldn't find a way to contour the brass sheet
to fit the slopes and small hills common on my layout. I guess they
will find their place on ebay!

Hi everyone:
Over two days (Friday and Saturday), I planted corn on my layout.
About 2,000 stalks. Now I know why I don't model Iowa! (grin!)
I've posted about it on my blog, with links to photos. I still need to
add a fence around the field, to keep the S scale deer out of the crop:
