Vast Central Ohio Corn Field Claims World Scale
Ohio's James Davis of Waverly, Russ County, grows 1800 acres of Indian corn in a single owners’ domain with a corn crib three miles long. Nearby Grant Miami Bottom near Lawrenceburg, Indiana, hosts a seven by three mile corn expanse stretching toward Aurora, divided among Hayes, Guards, and Millers families. The Wabash Valley region features vast corn tracts between Terre Haute and Lafayette, and along the Fort Wayne corridor wheat dominates from Laporte to Michigan City, with fields extending ten miles without fences. The Gazette notes no manure use and soil described as deep and fertile, highlighting the era’s expansive, fence-less farmed tracts.
