RICHLAND, Mich. - It’s a corny tribute to the late Gerald Ford — and it can be fully appreciated only from the air.
A farm not far from where Ford grew up created a maze in a cornfield in the likeness of the nation’s 38th president, who died last December.
Each year, Gull Meadow Farms near Richland cuts a maze in its corn fields. A company that specializes in corn maze design drew up the plans for the Ford portrait, which says PRESIDENT FORD across the top and THANKS below.

The literature would seem to suggest that Gerald Ford’s jersey number was 48. Since retired.

The company mentioned in the article does this for folks nationwide - a family farm in my hometown has done this for a decade or so.

An very good likeness! Being completely lacking in artistic ability, things like this are amazing to me.

I took yesterday off so I'm late in coming to this thread...nice to see a cornfield used for something other than biofuel and mazes!

Quite nice, indeed. And did you know that in Georgia, there is a similar visual tribute to Jimmy Carter....
