KEY STRENGTHS
Looks like a million bucks! Healthy plant that combines easy and yields great! Loves Minnesota and the Dakotas. Excellent ear flex for girth and kernel depth. Great choice for grain or silage.

WEAKNESSES
Average tolerance to tar spot and gray leaf spot.

POSITIONING
Our research team calls this “landlord corn” because it looks good, performs well, and combines easy in the fall. This hybrid fits just about everywhere other than continuous corn acres (no rootworm protection and only average on a few key diseases). Use a foliar fungicide, as we saw excellent yield protection with this product. It responds well to good fertility by adding more and deeper kernels around the ear.

AGRONOMIC & DISEASE RATINGS

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 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

Out of everything I planted, Hefty has always been the first corn out of the ground over the last three years.

Devon, Southeast Nebraska

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.
