cornfields
Rows of stalks
Fields where corn is grown.
In American English, cornfields are planted with maize—the tall stalks with yellow ears.
In British English, they may contain wheat or other cereal grains.
Cornfields evoke rural farmland and agricultural heartland: We drove past miles of cornfields in Iowa.
Children of the Corn made them briefly sinister.
