A farmer in Ohio has created a corn maze out of Sarah Palin's image. The image is clearly visible by helicopter.
Duke Wheeler, who owns the Butterfly House and surrounding farm, said he made the Palin corn maze to bring people to his farm this fall.
The corn maze was not an easy process to create. Wheeler drew the picture of Palin and entered it into a GPS system. He then flew in and cut it with a John Deere tractor, a task which apparently took around 8-10 hours to complete.
Wheeler expects thousands of visitors to come and check out the Sarah Palin corn maze, Butterfly House and some of the other special activities he has planned for the season.
