A corn picker with snapping rolls will crush popcorn cobs because of the small size of the cobs and shell right through onto the ground. A stipper corn head like on a modern combine can pick the popcorn, but if you shell it through a combine, the kernels will be scuffed and not pop as well as if run through a sheller. I dried it on the cob, and shelled through an old IHC hand sheller with an electric motor on it, and then ran it through a fanning mill to get the bees wings out. Moisture content of the kernels is critical.
