KEY STRENGTHS
All-around stud! Yield, plant stability, and defense. This hybrid is the total package! Very good roots and stalks. Strong overall defense leading to consistent performance across fields. Girthy, flex ear with heavy test weight.

WEAKNESSES
Gray leaf spot and stalk anthracnose are the two potential weaknesses.

POSITIONING
Acre-friendly hybrid that fits on almost every field from low to high productivity. The only chinks in the armor are a couple of diseases that can easily be managed with a planting time fungicide application and potentially (if gray leaf spot is in an 86-day corn zone) a foliar application. Outside of that, heavy test weight on a big, girthy ear on a healthy plant with strong roots is going to be a great choice for a lot of acres on your farm. We’ve seen a nice response with this hybrid to available fertility early in the season – that could be starter fertility or just rich soil.

Maxx NS and Alpha Complete at planting have been treatments that work great with this hybrid.

AGRONOMIC & DISEASE RATINGS

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

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 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 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 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.
