KEY STRENGTHS
Northern rock star! Yield and defense with stress tolerance. It’s a ‘plant early and plant everywhere’ kind of hybrid! Strong early vigor and stays green well into the fall.

WEAKNESSES
Keep in the 75- to 82-day planting zone.

POSITIONING
This is a really nice overall product that has some good yield pop, but can handle the tough ground, too. Fits just about everywhere within its maturity zone. Can be the last hybrid you harvest and not fall apart in November. Excellent plant structure that benefits from intensive management to reach its full potential.

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.

Paul, Southeast South Dakota

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.

Nathan, Watertown, South Dakota

I put my Hefty corn up to my favorite Pioneer and Dekalb, and wow does it perform! I’ll keep planting Hefty!

Luke, Iowa

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!

Ben, Moses Lake, Washington

Out of everything I planted, Hefty has always been the first corn out of the ground over the last three years.

Devon, Southeast Nebraska

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.

Mike, Othellow, Washington

The emergence and yields I have gotten from my Hefty Brand Seed have been outstanding!
