KEY STRENGTHS
Plant this hybrid at the end of your driveway. Beautiful plant type with girthy ears, monster yield, and very good harvest appearance. Loose open husk at harvest provides excellent drydown, as well.

WEAKNESSES
Not the best choice for continuous corn as gray leaf spot and anthracnose tolerance are not excellent.

POSITIONING
This girthy eared hybrid loves early season fertility (i.e. starter) and responds very well to natural products like Alpha Complete in-furrow.

AGRONOMIC & DISEASE RATINGS

Chart H3042

The higher the number, the better the performance or rating.

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

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 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!

Mark, Southeast South Dakota

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