Those look better than I thought they would. I saw those a while back and thought them not cost effective. Thank you for sharing.

I was at Hobby Lobby last week. They seem to carry a lot more scenic items than they used to.

Here in New Zealand it would be cheaper to buy an actual field and plant corn than to make one out of those. I have seen them in model shops here but way to expensive. I used Ikea rosemary plants. Not as cool as those miniatures but way cheaper.

Hobby Lobby sells the package for $7.99 USD.
