Yes, definitely this scene is supposed to be set in Indiana. However, the actual on-location filming in the fields happened in California along Highway 155 just north of Bakersfield near the town of Delano. Even the rows of dried cornstalks were prop designs, with all the close-up shots of Grant in a ditch, and cowering among the cornrows, shot inside on a studio soundstage at MGM in Los Angeles.
