Sam told viewers they had experienced a few incidents of nudity and reminded visitors it was a family area; therefore, he asked they be considerate of others while on the property:

I understand there’s a few people out there who want to take risqué photos and photos for their Instagram profiles, etcetera. All I ask is that they’re considerate of the other people around them.
“So just think about who else is around you when you’re taking a photo in the sunflower fields and think how that could affect them. That’s all we ask,” Sam concluded.
