Growing popcorn in Nebraska

By most reports, Nebraska is the top popcorn-producing state in the nation.  On today’s program, we’ll talk to Central City, Nebraska farmer Mark McHargue about his experience growing popcorn.  McHargue says he enjoys growing the crop, although it does require more management than regular field corn.  He says he gets good returns on popcorn and he plans to expand his acres in 2016.
