Farmers grow corn maze marking 40 years since tragic attack on Marines

Friday, Oct 6
Leonard Farms Corn Maze & Pumpkin Patch has grown an intricate design commemorating 40 years since the attack in Beirut that killed 241 U.S. troops.
Ashley and Shaun Leonard had faced a dry couple of seasons at their farm near Canyon, Texas.
The high school sweethearts, originally from Colorado, were discouraged at their alfalfa, sorghum and triticale harvests. Farming is a gamble, and it felt like they were losing every year, Ashley Leonard, 35, said.
