Just one of many places. Go to the bottom of the page to see some actual corn mazes.
Maize:
Locally understood to denote the leading crop of a district. Restricted to the indigenous "maize" in America (c.1600, originally Indian corn, but the adjective was dropped), usually wheat in England, oats in Scotland and Ireland, while Korn means "rye" in parts of Germany. Maize was introduced to China by 1550, it thrived where rice did not grow well and was a significant factor in the 18th century population boom there.Cornflakes first recorded 1907. Corned beef so called for the "corns" or grains of salt with which it is preserved; from verb corn "to salt" (1560s).
harvest moon
a bulging corn crib
releases it
lost in the corn fields
I look at autumn's sky and listen,
a Skylark's song
