A trip through the pumpkin patch, anyone? How about losing it in a corn maze?Farmers try everything they can to boost their incomes.

Maize Mazes and Farm Profits: Well, the frost may already be on the pumpkins, but the corn mazes that have been created on some farms throughout the Maritimes are still packing 'em in. Those corn mazes, winery tours, U-Picks, and on-farm stores are all part of a tourism and entertainment package that some Maritime farmers put together to supplement their stagnant farm incomes. Freelance reporter Philip Moscovitch recently paid a visit to two farms to find out if that investment is paying dividends.
