How to Plow a Corn Maze

It used to be that you had to plow your corn maze when the corn was young and only about 6 inches high so you could see what you were doing, and it usually took a couple of days. With today's technology, you can plow your corn maze at anytime and it will only take about a day. Follow these steps to learn how to plow a corn maze.

Instructions

    • 1

      Determine the design you want for the corn maze. Keep in mind the size of the corn field you are working with. You can plow the field into custom shapes or you can just design it with many dead ends.

    • 2

      Drive around the corn field on your tractor but don't plow the corn maze just yet. Enter the coordinates of each corner of the corn field in to a GPS unit.

    • 3

      Enter an electronic version of your corn maze design into the computer using the corner coordinates of your corn field as a guide. This will plot the maze allowing you to enter the coordinates of the entire corn maze into your GPS unit.

    • 4

      Upload the corn maze coordinates from the computer into your GPS unit. You should now have a digital version of your field with the corn maze plotted onto it.

    • 5

      Plow your field using your GPS unit to guide you. It should show about 30 feet of the corn field at a time. Have someone walk in front of you with the GPS unit to guide where to plow the corn maze.

Tips & Warnings

  • Use a self-propelled mower to make it easier to plow the corn maze.
