KEY STRENGTHS
Excellent test weight and great yield potential in good soils! Responds well to higher plant populations and higher fertility levels.

WEAKNESSES
Less ear flex than other Hefty Brand hybrids. A little less staygreen in the fall, so it should move up a little in your harvest order.

POSITIONING
Loves the Red River Valley and east into Minnesota. This hybrid has a little less ear flex than others in the lineup and requires a little more population to fully express its yield. Responds very well to fertility, beneficial microbials, and intensive management.

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.

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

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.

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

Mark, Southeast South Dakota

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

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