KEY STRENGTHS
Big yields with good silage quality and tonnage potential! Handles low-yield environments well. Fast emergence leads to solid test weight and a girthy ear.

WEAKNESSES
Taller plant will leave more plant residue after harvest. Average disease protection characteristics.

POSITIONING
Broad placement is suggested as this hybrid has top-end yield potential in fertile ground but also performs well in the tough ground. Goss’s tolerance is not sufficient for the high-pressure continuous corn fields, but it will work fine for lower-pressure situations.

AGRONOMIC & DISEASE RATINGS

H4264 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!

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

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

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.
