Farmer Creates Corn Maze Out of Sarah Palin's Image
Last Edited: Wednesday, 24 Sep 2008, 11:39 PM EDT


A farm in Ohio has created a corn maze of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. (MyFoxToledo)

WHITEHOUSE, Ohio -- From the helicopter you can see it clearly, Republican vice-presidential candidate and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's face in a corn maze (video: MyFoxToledo).

Duke Wheeler of Whitehouse, Ohio, who owns the Butterfly House and surrounding farm, said he did it to bring people to the farm this fall.

**SNIP**

It wasn't an easy process.

"We contracted with an artist in Idaho who drew the picture and entered it into a GPS system, flew in and cut it with a John Deere tractor," Wheeler said. "It took him about 8-10 hours to cut it. We saw it from the helicopter it's just a great image of her. I think she'd be proud."

Wheeler expects thousands to come out and check out the corn maze, Butterfly House, and other activities he has planned for the season.

No way! It's a crop circle, and a mighty fine one at that.

Gotta wonder how much corn this farmer could afford to waste.

What plan does the government have to “bale” out anyone who gets hopelessly lost while navigating through Sarah’s beehive?

I’m just wondering because further north here in Michigan, corn isn’t ready to harvest. It could be sweet corn I suppose.

The Obama campaign will now say that space aliens are biased against him because the farmers in America love him.

If its in Michigan, that corn had better already be harvested.
