(Source: Cale Jefferies) <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">However, the giant emblem wasn\u2019t a spur-of-the-moment decision. Jefferies said planning started back in the winter by inputting data into the farm\u2019s GPS-enabled planter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cBasically, once you\u2019ve inputted it, you just press go and (the planter) puts seeds where they need to be or where they don\u2019t need to be,\u201d Jefferies explained. \u201cEvery year, I\u2019m amazed how accurate this turns out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">He estimates the logo covers about 10,000 square feet in the cornfield and, impressively, only took the planter about half an hour to complete.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cWe just wanted to get some buzz and demonstrate what technology can do in agriculture and really just have some fun with it,\u201d he explained. \u201cIt\u2019s about yield and making the most of your crops, but sometimes it\u2019s just about having fun, showing some passion for the community and the surrounding areas, and the Jets logo is just a nice fit with a lot of passionate Jets fans around.\u201c<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" alt=\"\" class=\"c-image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/FL33GZH3ZFH6TFIWWYC7CJITW4.jpeg\"  width=\"800\" height=\"450\"\/>People walk through a corn maze in Glenboro, Man. in an undated photo.

(Source: Cale Jefferies) <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The seeding company\u2019s tribute to the Jets has already caught the attention of the Winnipeg hockey club.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The Jets shared an aerial photo of the logo on Friday and, in a nod to the Crave television series Letterkenny, wrote, \u201cNot my corn maze, not my farm. But that there\u2019s a genuine work of art.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cWe were not expecting it to go as viral as it did\u2026 but it\u2019s pretty cool to see the Jets retweeted it, and NHL.com got a hold of it,\u201d Jefferies said. \u201cI\u2019ve got a lot more work to do promoting it, but it\u2019s been fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Jefferies said the corn maze is open to the public and he\u2019s encouraging people to come check it out for free.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cLife goes fast, so you\u2019ve got to slow down, have some fun, and enjoy some things,\u201d Jefferies said. \u201cJust to bring a smile or two, or a new experience for some kids \u2014 that\u2019s what it\u2019s all about.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Grow Jets Grow.
