KEY STRENGTHS
Complete package! Yields well across the field with solid defense to overcome problem areas. Heavy test weight with staygreen and intactness to make harvest fun! Excellent early vigor and drought tolerance.

WEAKNESSES
Average tolerance to tar spot.

POSITIONING
National line with yield and defense to fit on most acres. The Trecepta trait offers protection from black cutworms and western bean cutworms that may otherwise require additional insecticide applications. The use of a foliar fungicide along with Nutex EDA around tasseling time is beneficial for improved plant health and disease protection with this hybrid. Ear flex is sufficient to get by with moderate populations. Plant structure will handle higher populations if fertility is adequate.

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!

Ben, Moses Lake, Washington

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 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

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.
