Let me explain what’s different and why planting 40 SERIES CORN this year made even more of a difference than we’d normally expect.

Since no other seed company talks about this, I can understand why you may be a bit skeptical about planting into cold soils until you see it yourself.

HERE ARE THE 3 BIG REASONS WHY HEFTY BRAND 40 SERIES CORN IS DIFFERENT.

With 38 components, Hefty Complete Corn Seed Treatment should mean faster emergence. We continue to see up to 20% faster emergence compared to standard seed treatments. You should also see better cold tolerance, greater nutrient uptake, and fewer diseases and insects. All these factors are important since corn is almost certain to sit in the soil longer than normal when temperatures are cold.

This is the one that gets talked about the most, and for good reason. Look on the seed tag from any company. They are required by law to show you a WARM germination score. No company we know of lists or guarantees a high COLD germination percentage. Since the warm seed germination test is typically run at 77 degrees in the lab, knowing that score isn’t very helpful when it comes to planting in 40-degree soils.

Of course we pick the best-yielding hybrids, but one thing we have found is another great characteristic to look for is the early emergence and vigor of a hybrid. If I hear from a corn breeder that he can tell where he’s at in a plot because Hybrid A is always emerging first, I know that hybrid is one we want to consider for our Hefty Brand Corn lineup.

We are so confident in the 40 Series Corn hybrids you plant, we back it up with a FREE REPLANT POLICY! Talk to your Hefty Agronomist for full details of our program, but as long as you are planting after the first crop insurance date in your area and when the soil is dry enough to plant, we’ll back you up. Ideally, we would also love to see you use an insecticide in-furrow or T-banded, as well as have a fungicide in-furrow, as both of these treatments typically improve cold soil stands and yields, but neither is a requirement for our free replant policy.

If you follow our advice, early-planted corn will be more fun. The earlier you plant, the more time you have for all your other jobs on the farm. No corn other than 40 Series can give you the thing you may need most — TIME. That’s why we say: Plant 40 Series Corn first on your farm. Plant 40 Series Corn when it’s cold or warm. Plant 40 Series Corn if the upcoming forecast looks bad. Plant 40 Series Corn even if someone told you imbibitional chilling will damage your seed. Plant 40 Series Corn when other seed companies are saying, “It’s too cold to plant.”
