The Agriculture Core

Due to the location of Colorado, there are limited crops that are able to be grown. The main focus of crops deal with growing corn, hay, and wheat. "Today, 40 percent of private land in the United States is used for agriculture. While 24 percent of that land is in the Rockies, the region produces only eight percent of the total agricultural commodities in the United States" (USDA). The agricultural core covers many states and includes Colorado, the following picture depicts the Corn for Grain Harvest acres.

Because corn flourishes in Colorado there are many corn field mazes around the area that help bring tourism to the area and other a fun activity to help the corn field farms grow. Like the The “Crazed Cornfield Maze” which is a 20 acre corn field maze that will have you twisting and turning in tall corn! This is a great outdoor event for all ages.
