but it's still uphill from the road. The only real way to tell if group of people could have made that undetected is to get two people a camera, a long pole (20' should do it) and walkie talkie or some other way for them to communicate. Get the person with the camera near the road (if you can manage to close it off on the road would be better, but we don't want anybody killed here), get the other person to take the pole to strategic points of the circle (nearest the road, furthest from the road, midway, and the center of the circle), and stick the pole up. Then the two people communicate (indicate when the person is in position) and take pictures. If you can't see the pole ever then the whole thing is well below sightline, and thus would be very easy to do unobserved. If you can see the pole at least sometimes but never the person then the thing is still below sightline but not so comfortably. If you can see the person sometimes then it's partly above sightline and things get tricky. if you can see the person all the time then it's all visible and the door has to be opened to extra ordinary possibilities. We can even do this entirely cropless to make it easier. Without something to judge these sightlines though we are stuck with the saying that it's POSSIBLE that the circle is below sightline and therefore could be made unobserved. Which is a simpler explanation.

Oh, and many of the grain crops grow pretty tall. Corn is the thickest and blocks tons of sound and is just generally creepy to get lost in. But others (depending on the specific grain and the breed of that grain) can grow taller than a human.

You really don't appear to see too well. Look REALLY long and hard at the image below, and then try to say that a group of people could create that formation in less than 45 minutes without being seen. And if you still think that a team of hoaxsters could create this formation in middle of the day without getting caught, when they haven't been able to make one as precise when given DAYS to do so, hey, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn for sale...
