With the presidential election less than two months away, one farm family in Indiana is encouraging others to vote. And, it is using a corn maze to spread the word.

The Frazee family runs a corn maze at Hogan Farms in Brownsburg, Indiana. They carved “Get Out & Vote” into the nine-acre corn field along with an American flag and the White House.

“This year’s a very important year for the election,” Lisa Frazee told WISH TV. “It’s very important for everybody to get out and vote.”

Frazee said an artist drew the design on grid paper, and her son took about two days to cut the maze.

This election campaign has seen its fair share of farmers using their fields to express opinions about the presidential candidates.

In Brookshire, Texas, Dewberry Farm carved both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton’s likenesses into its eight-acre field, along with the hashtag “#Noooo!”

In Canton, Ohio, Jerry Slankard used cow manure to spell out “No Trump” on his field.

In New Castle, Indiana, Kade Kroger carved the businessman's name into his field after he was unable to attend a Trump event.

In Sevierville, Tennessee, a farmer carved “Make America Great Again” (which is Donald Trump’s campaign slogan) into his corn maze.

But Chuck Starritt, who's farm the message is on, told WVLT the slogan on his farm is meant to encourage people to enjoy time with friends and family.
