ELEVA, Wis.—Carlene and Duane Schultz decided to use Brett Favre's image in their corn maze after he announced his retirement in the spring. And even though Favre's desire to be released from the Packers has created controversy, Carlene Schultz thinks people will be open to going through the maze when it opens Sept. 1.

The maze at Schultz's Country Barn in Eleva reads "thanks" and shows Favre's upper body holding a football, with his No. 4 jersey.

Carlene Schultz says they have had mostly positive reactions so far, but a few grousers are saying they won't visit. She says she doesn't know what to expect if Favre gets traded.

The family plans to give $1 from each ticket sold to the Deanna Favre Foundation.
