Great Corny Idea

Brett Herbst, a Brigham Young University agribusiness graduate who grew up on an Idaho farm,got the idea from a similar venture he had read about in a farming magazine. Brett's original labyrinth in American Fork, Utah was the largest corn maze created in the western United States. It drew 18,000 people in only three weeks during the fall of '96. Ten years later, The MAiZE has grown into the world's largest cornfield maze company. Now - 840+ mazes since its founding, a Guinness record and five countries later this guy has a nifty, creative business.
In 2005 his company MAiZE was responsible for 165+ mazes in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Europe.

Unfortunately, due to the affects of Hurricane Katrina, the Maize near us, at Lucedale, Mississippi , near the Alabama / MS line on Tanner Williams Road is currently closed. There are seven in Tennessee, one at the Agricenter, and a fancy one near Rock City.

A quick look at the U.S. map shows that there are corm field mazes you can visit all over the country. Many have their own webpages and all arrange school field trips, etc...See the fun MAiZE website for tons of great info.
