Indiana's Goebel Farms chooses Charlie Kirk image for corn maze
Jeremy Goebel said the maze was meant as a tribute and not an endorsement, as the post drew about 1,000 reactions and more than 200 shares.
Goebel Farms in Evansville, Indiana, unveiled an annual corn maze featuring the visage of late commentator Charlie Kirk on Wednesday, days before the one-year anniversary of his killing.
Kirk, the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA, was fatally shot while speaking to college students at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025, remaining a polarizing public figure.
Jeremy Goebel designed the maze using GPS-guided computer systems installed in his tractor, and the Facebook announcement garnered about 1,000 reactions within four hours, reflecting both support and disagreement.
Addressing potential boycotts, Goebel stated, "We respect their right to make that decision," emphasizing the maze aims to encourage reflection on dialogue despite serious disagreements.
Legal disputes persist regarding Kirk's legacy; this May, a judge ordered Ball State University to pay $225,000 to an employee fired for criticizing the commentator.
