And that does look more like wheat than corn, anyway... I've seen a bit here in Kansas. And, I'm guessing that in the next field is hops. The beer drinkers would have his guts-for-garters if he had mowed that down!

But, but...

on the Kornpad in Dussen grey Mercedes the corn field
had ridden into area car. On the spot the agents found a completely confused man, who drove rondjes
with its car constantly by the corn field.

Now I'm imagining this guy as Ronnie Dobbs.

I thought that in Europe all field grains are considered corn.

Our corn is specified as Indian Corn.

That does look a lot more like a wheat field to my eyes.

I believe that the soil and weather requirements for corn are sufficiently restrictive that you can't actually grow it well anywhere but in the United States.

I understood that, in Olde English, corn is commonly used to denote the most prevalent grain crop of the region. "Indian" corn is sweetcorn to Brits. (We generally only get the yellow variety). Cornfields (with or without crop circles) in the UK are usually wheat.

and yes, that's amazing.

Can't find any pics of the maze we went to last year, but it wasn't dissimilar to that mess. Here's a video of the local news item about it with a brief aerial shot of the whole thing...

When asked for a comment by the local newspaper, the driver was heard to say "shucks".

One of our local dairies (yes, the one that bought that little girl a new kidney) dedicates one of their feedcorn fields to a Maize-maze every year. Last time I went there was a great innovation ... night access. You had to go through the maze with flashlights. Much spookier, but about the same level of challenge doing it in daylight gives. One thing that makes you head through the whole maze is a contest element. They have stations throughout the maze where you have to answer some corn-related trivia questions.

Once the season's over, they harvest the field and feed it to the moo-moos.
