Goebel Farms, which is just north of Evansville, Indiana, planted this year’s corn maze as a portrait of Charlie Kirk, the Turning Point USA founder who was assassinated while speaking at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025.
Owner Jeremy Goebel designed the layout on a computer, loaded it into a GPS-guided tractor, and cut Kirk’s face into the field, with “RIP CK” and the date of his death at the bottom.
The farm announced the design on social media just before the anniversary of his death and posted flyover photos on its website.
