If you had to name one snack from the Midwest, there’s no doubt the answer would be popcorn. States like Illinois and Indiana are among the nine major popcorn producing states in the popcorn belt region. Named the official snack food of Illinois, popcorn is a big deal in the Midwest.
Shops like Garrett’s and Nuts on Clark even have designated storefronts all over the state. We head out to Preferred Popcorn, a collective of farms in Indiana that plants 100 million pounds of popcorn every year. These carefully selected kernels are later made into popcorn at shops like Nuts on Clark. We get an inside look at both the planting and making process of the popular snack.

Over 50 years ago, growing up in rural Kansas, I had an elementary school pal who’s family grew popcorn. When I was invited out to play, we often went to the field, cut off a few ears, went back to his house to shuck and hull - then popped it in butter and oil in a cast iron pot. What a fond memory!

We raise a bunch of popcorn in south central Nebraska and it all goes to con Agra in Hamburg, Iowa. It is all Vogel seed in this scenario. More recently we have been raising Orville Resenbacher white popcorn. In the past we have raised some mushroom kernel style for crunch ‘n munch. It is a picky plant compared to regular field corn, it is also very heavy so if you get in it in a bin like they were in the video you will feel extra pressure on your legs compared to normal corn. Also what Con Agra does is they prefer it dry as they can rehydrate it for popping, it’s not something you can dry down traditionally. Also a standard semi load of popcorn hauls somewhere around 400,00+ microwave bags worth popcorn if I remember back to a calculation. Consider that going down the road, that’s $1-$1.50 each at a hotel, it’s a wonder we don’t have armed guards hauling it. However, farmers are paid a premium over traditional corn price so that is all end producer margin. At the Hamburg facility each load brought in is tested for volume like shown, thanks he popped corn is then bagged and taken across the street and given to the elementary school.

Is it harvested only after the corn is dried out in the field? Or is it different entirely from fresh corn in the supermarkets, with the kernels soft and juicy? Otherwise it would seem it's going to get corn mash rather than kernels.

Just rec'd my 1st shipment of "Baby White" popcorn, as I was planning supper; had to pop up a small batch. I was weaned on popcorn, in MN-since 1939. Sunday supper was popcorn, in a screen shaker-popcorn, made over the gas flame, melted butter & salt-big glasses of cold, fresh milk, and...........a spoon. Grab a handful, put it in the milk; SUPPER for the family. I've eaten it almost daily for over 75 years (I'm 81). Amish Popcorn is fine stuff! I pop & eat small servings daily, keep a sealed bowl for whenever, thru the day. Took my popper on backpacks, too. Theater popcorn? No!. Only butter & salt, please. I have a fine air popper now, pop corn dry, don't mess it up! Add only butter & salt. Put it, popped, into cold milk, spoon it up! You will see. BTW: microwave popcorn-chemicals, some popcorn? Don't do it!
