A few years ago, my dad visited one of the very successful corn mazes here
in Colorado. He's a wheat farmer in the Texas panhandle. He said "I
can do that". For two years before health issues got to him, he planted a
few acres, drew some stuff on a map, walked around with flags, drove the path
with his lawn tractor and some killing spray when the corn was
short and created a home made maze. He put up a small shade,
sold a little bottled water and candy, I don't know what they did for rest
rooms. My mom worried a lot and I know they got some liability
insurance. They broke even the second year.
On the other hand, Anderson Farms, where he first saw the maze, had a huge
Agri-tainment business, http://www.andersonfarms.com/ But
due to the zoning issues someone else mentioned, they are closed. Such a
surprise.
The North American Farmer's Direct Marketing Association has a
lot of members that are in the entertainment business. See what you can
find on their website. http://www.nafdma.com/
