The farm's owner said the driver caused more than $800 worth of damage. Eventually, firefighters had to go in and help the driver out.

"We turned around and assumed we were going back the direction that we came, but it was very disorienting for us even because there's no road signs in the corn field telling you where to go," said firefighter Amy Lynn Julsing. "You become very directionally challenged, especially at 2:30 in the morning."

Once the SUV made it out, there was corn still hanging from it.

No one was hurt.
