LEEDS — The Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Office is investigating vandalism that caused extensive damage over the weekend to a cornfield at the Barker Farm in Leeds.

The Maine Warden Service said three sections of the cornfield were damaged.
The corn that was damaged was ready to be harvested, according to the wardens.
A telephone call Sunday evening to the Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Office was not returned.
