Farm Market Industry
Very few people can say that they have spent their entire life dedicated to
the same industry. Scott is an exception. He cannot remember a time when he was
not a part of the family farm market. Scott's experiences are unique because his
family's farm market started the same year he was born. Consequently, he has
grown along with the business from four rows of sweet corn to a farm market
with over 100 acres of fresh produce and a key fall destination for area tourism.
Scott has over 10 years of experience in the corn maze industry, but his
knowledge and skills cover much of the agri-tourism industry. Through years of
working with his family's farm and many other farms all over the world, he has
seen the challenges that farms must overcome in order to be successful.
Presentation topics may include corn mazes and their future, agri-marketing,
agri-tourism, public relations and advertising for farm markets, various media
including print, visual, and web, managing time, labor, and resources, and many
other business and marketing related topics.

"When I am every going to use this?" For him, the answer has been
surprising. Scott will share how he became motivated to work hard and push his
potential to start a business that stretches around the world when he was only a

About the Speaker
Scott Skelly was born and raised in Janesville, Wisconsin on his family's

the farm move towards a complete fall tourism destination. At age 15, Scott
founded Corn Mazes America and published his first book. He now works with farms
from California to China helping them not only make a corn maze, but also a
successful business. His company has grown from a hobby to a large scale
company. Scott was recognized by the Global Student Entrepreneur Awards in 2008
as one of the top companies in the world started and owned by a college student.
