   While Benson invites the public to "come out each year and get lost," he acknowledges that maze walkers do use their wireless devices while navigating the cornfield.

   "This year there are four different maze trails, from easy to very difficult, and people again will use their cell phones to call for help, or even to light their way along the trails," said Benson.

   "Verizon Wireless, the largest U.S. wireless provider, is a great fit as a sponsor for our world record attempt. And this year, we are adding signs in the corn maze where people can text message for clues as they navigate through the field."

   The Maze at Benson Farms is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday from Sept. 25 to Nov. 1. For more information about the maze, visit www.bensonfarms.com .
   
  This new world record for the Largest Corn Maze has surpassed the previous Guinness world record of 40.489 acres held by a maze created in Dixon, Calif. in 2007.
   
   This new world record for the  Largest Corn Maze was sponsored by Verizon Wireless.
