Who all raises their own?

Sit'n here this morning shelling ours.

Never have.
That's very cool

We grew 300 acres here in the '50 > '60s.

Easy to grow 330, today's the hard part, lol.

Who'd ya sell to SJA?

National Oats Co.

Cool,

We just plant about a 10' square of it in with our sweetcorn. It does surprisingly well, getting at least 2ears to a stock.

Done for another year.

Will that even last the day?

How cool is that !

I thought pop corn came from the store...lol

Now I have to grow some corn

Gotta have tough hands to shuck. It will seperate the trappers from the typers real quick….lol

Not if your on t-man.
What is the difference between corn that pops and regular corn.

As a kid we did.
Sweet and Indian too.
We were rich and didn't know it.

Wouldn't one of those hand crank corn shuckers work?

Shelled a lot of popcorn as a kid. Toughens your fingers right up. I recall the whole floor upstairs covered in newspapers with ears or popcorn covering that so it'll dry.

Same farm in Illinois grew green beans as well as sweet corn also would raise 120 acres of popcorn. Theit harvest didn't give them a good yield but made a heck of a dove feeding ground. 20 minutes would yield you a 5 gallon bucket of popcorn on the cob.

I grow popcorn every year. Easy to grow. I use old hand corn sheller to shell the popcorn. Not so hard on the thumbs.

eating popcorn is like saying good bye and eating regular corn is more of a see you later

I grew a rows in parents garden for few years when was kid. One year I had it next to couple rows Indian corn and it came out variegated colors. It popped but not as good as straight white. I know I got blisters on my thumbs shucking it.
Now I like the yellow popcorn comes from Iowa.

"Never Forget Which Way Is Up!"

Yea, I don't eat the stuff. Wife does and makes half/cup of kernels at a time which fills a big bowl. That'll hold her for the year.

We give some to the neighbors to, that's what we're keeping.
