Gold Standard

As corn maze season has drawn to an end, I just realized I hadn't written about this year's theme. It's been a busy fall. There's no time like the present, right? This year, we honored another local accomplished athlete. Brody Malone, a Gold Medal-winning USA gymnastics team member, is from our small town. Brody comes from a great family, and we were so excited to witness his success that we had to give him our version of the recognition he deserves... a 5-acre likeness carved into a cornfield. Brody was kind enough to make an appearance and hang out on the farm for a while last week. Being on a farm was nothing new. Brody's dad teaches agriculture at Rockmart High School, directly across the road from our farm. This town has always been full of some pretty awesome folks, and I am glad we get to do our part to shine a little light on them. Congrats, Brody and the entire Malone family. If you are keeping score, Last year's corn maze theme was college World Series winner and MLB first-round draft pick Ty Floyd. So yes, from this little town, we have an Olympic Gold Medalist and an MLB first-round draft pick in the last 2 years. Who's next?
