Think your corn is tall? The worlds tallest cornstalk was grown by Don Radda of Washington IA in the 1940s...it was 31 feet tall! They have a full size sculpture of it at the Washington County Fairgrounds.

That's not entirely true
Karl's is not official

Radda 31 foot is the record
Karl's purported 34 footer has never been seen nor verified by anyone except himself, is not a record, and likely doesn't exist.

Hmm ... Guinness and
There were only 2 articles, by separate news outlets, both reporters verifying that 4 separate Ph.D's verified the plant while it was growing. So it is not entirely true, not official, purported, not seen or verified by anyone except himself, not a record, and likely doesn't exist. Good points. Thanks for your contribution.
