Maize Mazes
Cool mazes made from, uh, maize.
No, really, this is something I’ve seen in the Mid-West, where I’m from, but not so much anywhere else, so when I saw an article on the creation of corn mazes, I had to share it. Every year back in Illinois, there were always farmers who would carve giant mazes out of their fields for people to come and wander through. Naturally, there was a small charge, but it was well worth it for a maze lover. And, I think it kept more than one farm afloat, to be honest. I seem to recall that the better mazes made more money from selling admission to the maze than they did from the crop itself, which is actually kind of sad.
Anyway, this article is about the fun of making them, so go check it out.
This is very cool. Kind of Jealous…very few farms in Philly, lol.
