FAQ's - Questions & Answers

How do you cut the maze out of the corn?
We have a custom design made each year that is mapped out using computers and a Satellite GPS system that is accurate within an inch.  The cutting out of the maze only takes about 5 hours with a tractor that is equipped with the GPS onboard computers.  One interesting fact is we do this during the night when it's cool, so we don't need to see where we are going since we are using the computer to guide us.

How long does it take to finish the maze?
It takes up to 2 hours when we first open the maze to find all 6 punch stations.  However, if your really good it can be completed in under 1 hour.

What kind of corn do you plant?
We plant what farmers call Cow Corn , or Silage Corn .  This type of corn has a strong stalk and broad leaves.  The hybrid type of corn we plant grows very well in NC's heat of the summer with little rain, and is also resistant to worms and can grow to over 13 feet tall.  If a bug or worm eats the corn they get very sick and can't reproduce.

Can we bring our dog?
Yes, we allow dogs on a leash.
