KEY STRENGTHS
Thumbnail kernels! Deep, deep kernels and good ear flex. Excellent roots and stalks. Healthy plant through the season. Strong Goss’s tolerance. Great fall appearance! Good drydown. Strong yielder that could be used for silage, as well.

WEAKNESSES
Average tolerance to northern corn leaf blight.

POSITIONING
Outstanding Roundup Ready® corn hybrid that works best in its maturity zone but runs north well, too. This hybrid works on a wide range of soil types and management systems. It does respond well to applied fertility and will benefit from a tassel time fungicide application, especially if northern corn leaf blight is in the area. It has good ear flex, so you don’t need to push planting populations to get strong yield results. We recommend using a planting-time insecticide to protect against primary and secondary soil insects.

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.

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

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.
