I worked on this corn field recently. The aftermarket corn is expensive. I purchased one and then purchased a package of party toothpicks from Amazon. I placed them in a sheet of foam and spray painted them green. Then I took a dry brush and topped them all it some light tan and yellow.
I put the aftermarket corn in the front and a printed background behind and this was the result.
Have Fun!

Nice corn Ron! "It's as high as an elephants eye"
Outstanding!
John H posted:Very nice. You're right about pricing. The best I have found is here. I would love to model this picture of me last fall, but I might as well roll up dollar bills to do that one.
Hmm. In N gauge you could just use a piece of corduroy. 
Wow looks fantastic !
Looks great, seriously, but not understanding term "aftermarket" in this application. Having seen an elephant ram down piles of pumpkins like he was loading muskets during Pickett's Charge, l would not expect the one above to stand in those green vegetables without grabbing trunk-fulls and clearing an acre.

That looks fantastic! Great idea using the party toothpicks for the background stalks.
Bob
Looks good!
John,
That is the coolest photo ever! How did you arrange it? How many acres do you plant? It looks like a good sized farm.
Earl
Nicely done, Ron!
Bravo Ron, I love to do stuff like that, sorta off the shelf you can say.
Conductor Earl,
Just saw your post. One of our consultants for planting software has a photography hobby and took it with a drone. I plant about 1200 acres in a normal year. I posted a link to his harvest video from last fall as an example of why I didn't have any train time, but it was shortly deleted. Thanks for the nice comments.
Ron,
What a creative and excellent solution! The tall grasses in the front complete the look. I'm amazed at how well the perspective of your background photo works from both angles shown.
Bravo!

Very cool! Great job!
A corn field and John Deere tractor .... that's cool, too!
Well done! 
I'm not a real farmer but I have a good eye and approve of your modeling.
I am a real farmer, and I think it is great modeling. Hope to see more.
I'm not a real farmer either but I like to eat corn and I think your modeling is great!
Thanks all for the wonderful and kind comments everyone. I'm working on a cow pasture next to the corn field. Still doing some research to work on the details. It's sort of plain now with cows (too many of them) standing in a field of green flock.
