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!
I thought “how interesting could popcorn be?” These farmers are awesome and clearly are passionate about what they do. Lots of my family in the Midwest were farmers and there guys have their same passion. Awesome to see
I worked in a movie theater. The butter flavoring we used was also the salt. We would sometimes add extra flavor but people would complain it was too salty. That's why we have the fake butter dispensers. Add to your heart's content.
@@OXIR the cinema probs doesnt make the butter flavouring on its own and buys it from another company, so its quite hard for them to control how much salt is in the butter
@@fuhlvee5555 The salt actually comes from an additive they use, called Flavacol. It’s what gives the popcorn it’s yellow/orange color. I bought Flavacol off of Amazon, and it really does make the popcorn movie theaterish..
Popcorn is the coolest snack. As a kid, I still remember being amazed when I first heard that corn popping in the pot, and then soon afterwards, discovered that the pot was filled to the top with all of those delicious, fluffy-white, crunchy clouds. Add a little butter and salt ... snack-time perfection!
@@jakestroll6518 My advice is never to eat anything from a shop, restaurant, etc if ur worried about boots on corn. I hate to see how you'd survive if you had to live off the land.
Let's all appreciate the farmers who do what they do so we don't have to. I love you guys, thank you for keeping us fed :) If they quit, we'd all be screwed.
Yeah that used to happen sometimes where I live but it happens less because they give people around 2 minutes of oxygen if they fall in so they have enough time to pull them out
I was beginning to think I was the only one who noticed lmao 🤣🤣🤣 they been walking around a whole compound and then put the same shoes in millions of dollars worth of product. I guess you could say they were standing on business ctfu lmao 🤣 🤣 😂😂😂😂😂
6:00 I really hope that farmer warned her that entering a bin full of grain is incredibly dangerous. It can be like quick sand and if you go under you will suffocate. We only enter from the top when it needs leveling to fill properly, otherwise that's a big nope.
I grew up in the corn belt and every year we had farm safety day for everyone and we learned never to step down in the silos of corn because it will pull you down
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.
My first job was working at a movie theater and in all that time, somehow, I never ever got sick of the smell of fresh popcorn. Even when it stuck to my clothes after work. It's just such a pleasing smell. Now BURNT popcorn is horrible.
Exactly, thats what I thought through out the video. Such a sweet precious voice and her little giggle... I kept replaying it when she was unloading the popcorn from her boots. Precious host

3:21 I didn't see how it automatically strips it all off the cob as it comes off the plant. Wonder is it works like a chicken plucker or something. 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!
I can attest *Madison, Wisconsin has some serious popcorn from the theaters to kettle corn to the infamous Chicago Garrett's popcorn.* Real butter NOT margarine makes a world of a difference, too.
Remember the next time you think this also think that most bacteria dies at 165 degrees and 215 at most and all popcorn is popped at 350 or above sooooooooooo
@@pphedup What? Pretty sure there is no germ that can survive 400 degrees in a cooker. It's not the germs they are checking for, it's stuff like small rocks that are the same size and weight as corn. I get them from time to time. But they are easy to see when you pour it into the cooker. I've been doing it professionally for five years, and caught three small rocks. Their quality control is good.
@@fankdaggot8961 yeah but i use salt pepper and some spices to enhance the taste. Adding cheese and butter is very unhealthy. You can eat a whole bag of ordinary popcorn everyday and still stay healthy because its very less in calories than eating any other snacks
I ate caramel popcorn while seeing THE BATMAN last weekend to replace the ecclesiastical livestream. 'Twas my first time in a long time to eat it! So delicious!
