Interesting Crop Design

I found this interesting crop design near Lebanon, OH. (between Cincinnati
and Dayton). I can't imagine how difficult it must have been to create
this.

Here's a little more detail. Basically they just hold a handheld GPS
and "follow the lines"

I read that a farmer that had done one of these maze/pictures, made more
money, MANY times over, selling admissions instead of selling the crop.

Sly like a fox, getting the masses paying to see mowed down crops. g

No, they CHARGE people $6 Bucks a head, and $5 bucks for kids over 4 to
come and negotiate the maze. The most amazing part of it is, people
come BY THE THOUSANDS!

I guess pilots get the last laugh, they get the best view for free
well, still a $100 corm maze run I guess grin)

Actually, that probably wouldn't be a bad idea eh?

A large map of affiliated mazes is at

anyone selling siteseeing flights should probably take note at least.

AOPA did an article on these a few months back. They're actually very
easy to do, they are planted that way.
