KEY STRENGTHS
Great northern corn! Strong emergence and early vigor. Very good drought stress tolerance. Excellent stalks and roots. Works in all yield environments. Big, girthy ears. Good stalk anthracnose tolerance.

WEAKNESSES
Not for continuous corn acres.

POSITIONING
Excellent conventional hybrid to choose in North Dakota and northern Minnesota. Broad-acre placement is advised as this hybrid handles all yield environments and most soil types. Good ear flex allows for moderate planting populations. This hybrid does respond to applied fertility, especially higher levels of P & K. We recommend using a planting-time insecticide to protect against primary and secondary soil insects.

AGRONOMIC & DISEASE RATINGS

H3890 Agronomic Chart

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

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

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 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

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.
