Corn maze

Corn mazes have become popular agritourism attractions in North America, and are a way for farms to generate tourist income.

[2] As of January 2023[update], the Guinness World Record for largest temporary corn or crop maze was 65.8 acres (266,000 m2), created by Luc Pelletier in La Pocatière, Québec, Canada, in October 2022.

[3] In 2012, a maze in Lacombe, Alberta, Canada earned the Guinness World Record for the largest scannable QR code on Earth.

[8] The designs may be cut earlier in the season, when the corn plants are shorter (about 12 inches (30 cm) tall), or during the summer, when they are taller.

[11] In order for farmers to create a corn maze they must carefully plan their production, design, and marketing techniques in advance.
