KEY STRENGTHS
Early corn with much better than expected yield! Tall plant with good Goss’s, test weight, and drydown.
WEAKNESSES
Fixed ear needs population.
POSITIONING
Great northern hybrid with strong Goss’s tolerance. Girthy ear can be maximized with in-row fertility. Responds very well to in-furrow Alpha Complete.
AGRONOMIC & DISEASE RATINGS
The higher the number, the better the performance or rating.
I know that when I give my business to Hefty Seed Company, I can count on great yields from their products and outstanding service from their knowledgeable agronomists.
We have had a really good run with Hefty Corn hybrids on our farm over the last several years. In fact, they have been our top-yielding hybrids for a number of years now.
I first tried Hefty because of the price point. Then I put four hybrids in my competition plot with four other brands of corn. Hefty took 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in my plot. That’s when I knew I was planting the real deal!
I put my Hefty corn up to my favorite Pioneer and Dekalb, and wow does it perform! I’ll keep planting Hefty!
The emergence and yields I have gotten from my Hefty Brand Seed have been outstanding!
Out of everything I planted, Hefty has always been the first corn out of the ground over the last three years.
I plant corn for Habitat for Hunting. My ground is really tough due to flooding it each year. I switched to Hefty Corn because of how well it handles tough, dry soil.
