Create a corn maze
Watch our video tutorial on creating a corn maze in your field, using Trimble Ag Desktop (formerly Farm Works) software and Farm Works Mobile. We’ll take you through how to use any drawing or illustration and calibrate the image for geo-referencing as a map layer. This simple process can be used to create virtually any design. Finish the process in the field with a Trimble GPS or hand-held display, to guide a mower or ground crew in cutting precise patterns. No more counting rows manually!
- Estimated time to complete this project: 15-45 minutes
- Season: Planting
- Time to watch: 16 minutes
