The Cretors family has been manufacturing and operating popcorn machines for more than 130 years so we have the expertise in sourcing outstanding raw popcorn specifically suited for processing in our equipment. We specialize in selling bulk corn to users of our industrial Flo-Thru popcorn equipment. Typically we sell in truck-loads or for export, in container loads (45,000 Lbs = 20,430 Kg).

Our popcorn is grown under contract by farmers in Iowa and Nebraska on irrigated land, using special non-GMO hybrid seeds. The corn is carefully harvested when the corn attains the right moisture level. The corn is then stored in silos with constant temperature and moisture monitoring and control. The corn is dried to the optimum moisture level in the silos. During the subsequent processing, the corn is carefully screened and cleaned. An optical sorter is used to inspect every kernel of corn to insure that any debris or less-than-ideal kernels are removed.

We package corn in 50 Lb bags (22.7 Kg) and 2500 Lb (1,134 Kg) super-sacks. Our 4-ply bags have an inner paper layer, a polypropylene layer and two outer paper layers. The ends of the bags are glued. These high-quality bags retain moisture and deter pests and they will normally provide a 2-year shelf-life when stored in a cool, dry place.
