Well, I don’t know how much the farmers benefit from the tourists, but the area definitely seems to be. Every year, I notice a new restaurant or shop of some kind opens up on the perimeter of the park. Plus, some of the local hot spring resorts are making weekend packages with bus tours to the park. It’s definitely a good thing.
there are a lot of farms around here really cashing in by becoming tourist traps. The hayride is good because you don't really need to buy anything, you just rent everything for the season.
When I lived in Upstate NY, I used to go to corn field/pumpkin patch every year. It certainly seemed like a big business ten years ago. I can imagine a lot of people have caught onto it and are giving it a go.

you should forget rental units buy a few acres of farmland and put up a corn maze if they don't have one yet.
I’ve been in a rice maze that was similar. I bet a haunted wagon ride would be pretty popular over here.
I wasn't sure if rice was tall enough for a good maze. If they don't have that yet I bet they would go bananas for it.
It wasn’t really tall enough for adults, but it was high enough that my five year old couldn’t peak over the rows and cheat.
I think it would be really popular here too. Especially with an ice cream stand nearby.

it beats the heck out of trying to make money farming that's for sure
