Corn Maze Word Search

Corn mazes are cut while the plants are still young, following a design plotted on a grid and then mowed row by row. The first large one opened in 1993 at Annville, Pennsylvania, and farms around the country copied the idea within a few seasons. By autumn the stalks stand well over head height, which is what makes the walls hold.
