Agri-Symbol Park.

76-Foot-Tall Corn Stalk

The corn stalk is in a park just off of Interstate 80 as you enter Shelby. It stands at the entrance to the Old Stone Arch Nature Trail, which looked like a great hike but I didn't have time to walk it.

Officially named "Agri-Symbol," the metal artwork is by Cliff Carlson. It includes the outline of corn, a pig, and a cow, which are the top three commodities produced by Shelby's farmers.
