Were is popcorn grown commercially and is it combined or picked? I've got a neighbor that grows a few hundred acres of it every year. Runs it through the combine, though it leaves quite a bit of waste. Thats not a bad thing though, as the pheasants love the stuff. Just about all of them shot around here have craws full of popcorn.

One of my neighbors has an old sheller, think its a john deere, think ide rather deal with the blisters than deal with that neighbor though. I'll look around for a sheller. Thanks guys, garden is about the only thing to look forward to this summer now.
What are you carving on behind the sheller there Snowy? Oh I have had a carving that I started last fall and still not done. LOL

Were is popcorn grown commercially and is it combined or picked? Some years ago, Orville Redenbacher had growers in Northwest Indiana. Thinking Chesterton to Valparaiso area. Don't know the harvest method, but would assume combine.
