KEY STRENGTHS
Girthy, flex ear hybrid with a nice fall appearance! Strong-yielding product with very good stalks and roots. Good husk flare to enhance grain drydown in the fall. Strong emergence and early vigor.

WEAKNESSES
Average tar spot and Goss’s tolerance.

POSITIONING
It’s the classic story of a high-yielding new male parent crossed with a rock solid and dependable female. You get strong roots and stalks plus a girthy ear with kernel depth and yield! This hybrid really responds to good fertility as well as a foliar fungicide application around tassel time or at least a Xyway application at planting. We saw great intactness at harvest and a plant that could hang on longer than others into the fall. It doesn’t like wet feet, though, so avoid poorly drained fields.

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

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 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

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.
