RICHLAND, Mich. (AP) - It's a corny tribute to the late Gerald Ford - and it can be fully appreciated only from the air.
A farm not far from where Ford grew up created a maze in a cornfield in the likeness of the nation's 38th president, who died last December.
Each year, Gull Meadow Farms near Richland cuts a maze in its corn fields. A company that specializes in corn maze design drew up the plans for the Ford portrait, which says PRESIDENT FORD across the top and THANKS below.
"Instead of just creating a path for people to travel through, we decided to make it a tribute to the late President Ford," said Justin Wendzel, a spokesman for the farm.

So is Ford the one who started picking our pockets to give our hard-earned money to corn farmers?

Do they get “set aside” payments for the crops that weren’t harvested?

No, aliens would know better than to give Gerald so much publicity.

I can’t say, but he did have an incredible number of vetoes for his short time in office and most were upheld.
