Sept 9 - A suburban Chicago farm that boasts the "world's largest corn maze" is celebrating the 60th anniversary of the world's most famous fictional secret service agent, James Bond.
The intricate maze, set to open Saturday, features over 10 miles of trails and sits on 28 acres in Spring Grove, Illinois, north of Chicago.General view of the "world's largest corn maze" celebrating the 60th anniversary of James Bond, in Spring Grove, Illinois, September 8, 2022.

Richardson says the maze is made by using high-tech corn planter tractors outfitted with GPS and special shutoffs. As the tractor travels across the field, corn seed is dropped to plant the maze's pattern, down to the tiny details of their chosen design. "It's a pretty big process," said Richardson. "It's very enjoyable and to see the results, it's really amazing."Reporting by Eric Cox; Editing by Diane Craft
