UK Farmer Makes Statue-of-Liberty-shaped Maze

A British farmer has created a maze in the shape of the Statue of Liberty in northern England.

Tom Pearcy says he cut the maze's outline in a field near the city of York and used more than a million maize plants to create the intricate pattern within.

The maze's outline is 1,300 feet long — 10 times the size of the iconic statue.

Pearcy said Thursday he began creating attractions such as the Liberty maze five years ago to bring more people to the countryside after an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease reduced farmers' incomes. His past patterns have included a Viking ship and the Big Ben clock from Britain's Parliament.
