KEY STRENGTHS
Great top-end yield potential! Jumps out of the ground and exhibits very good plant health and staygreen throughout the season. Strong stalks holds up a very girthy ear!
WEAKNESSES
Average rating on Goss’s. Not for continuous corn.
POSITIONING
Really strong top-end yields for this maturity! Fertilize for a higher yield goal and intensively manage this hybrid as it responds very well. Did see some response to high rates of ALS chemistries, especially pre-emerge. Avoid ALS chemistries, but don’t skip the pre as yield is determined early with this hybrid as it flexes for girth often to 20 kernels around!
AGRONOMIC & DISEASE RATINGS
The higher the number, the better the performance or rating.
Hefty 3712 had awesome standability!
Hefty 3712 came out of the ground really quick!
Hefty Corn 3712 had consistent emergence and cold tolerance, plus it yields!
My Hefty 3712 did very well for me the last few years so I decided to plant most of farm to Hefty Corn this year.
