That should be no surprise.
Tom's Maze is among USA Today's top ten corn mazes in the entire nation for 2016.
It ranks seventh.

A FEW TIPS
Tom says the maze is about fun competition.
"The people who come up with the best strategy are the ones who usually cross the victory bridge first, "Tom said.
There are 12 sections in the maze, and the goal is to find the U.S. mailbox in each section.
Tom recommends that teams split up to search for the mailbox.
Tom is not big on giving tips — part of the fun is figuring it out on your own — but he does recommend that maze walkers search a section at a time.
"Stay in that colored ribbon (section) until you find that mailbox," he said."There is only one mailbox per section."
The maze is in its 19th year.
Eby, a life-long farmer like his father and grandfather, customizes the maze each year.
All 19 designs are displayed on the wall of his barn.
This year it features a rooster in the middle and three miles of paths.

And in case you are wondering, you won't find Pikachu or any of his friends among the corn.
"No Pokemon," Eby said with a chuckle.
