Come check out our A-MAZING corn maze! Rader Family Farms is proud to partner with Beck's Hybrids and Precision Planting in 2024 to design and grow another challenging, interactive, and fun corn maze. At 10 acres. this year's maze is also in celebration of our 15-year anniversary.
Beck's Hybrids is the largest family-owned retail seed company in the United States. More importantly, Beck's is committed to honor God by maintaining their relationships with integrity and honesty in all they do.
We plant Beck's Hybrids seed corn in early June using GPS technology of our partner, Precision Planting, that allows seeds to be planted within half an inch of the exact spot where we want them. The planter crosses the field a second time so the maze is more dense than a typical corn field. After planting, we add bridges that allow you to climb and adjust your internal GPS or just enjoy a spectacular view of the maze and grounds.
Though it's a large maze, it's in two phases. You can choose one or both phases of the maze to complete using the provided map and based upon the challenge you desire. It typically takes people about 20 minutes to complete Phase 1 and about 40 minutes to complete Phase 2, but take time to enjoy the fall experience! There are multiple checkpoints throughout the maze. Each Phase has checkpoints to find. The last entrance to the maze is one hour before closing each day.
That is, the last maze entry is at 5 p.m. on Wednesday through Sunday and Columbus Day.
What better way to enjoy our wide open space than to plan a night out at Rader Family Farms for our Night Maze!

Mazes of the past
Check out how our maze has changed over the years. We strive to keep our tillable ground healthy and producing at peak yields and that requires crop rotation. That can be challenging when the maze acres are surrounded by the other parts of the farm.
