KEY STRENGTHS
National line with an impressive plant structure and dominant yields! Excellent fall intactness and appearance. Strong emergence and early plant vigor. Very good overall disease tolerance with very good Goss’s tolerance. Handles high pH soils very well.

WEAKNESSES
Tar spot tolerance is the watchout.

POSITIONING
Exciting national hybrid with the yield and agronomics you’re looking for. Handles high pH soils and most diseases (other than tar spot) very well. If tar spot is in your area, a foliar fungicide application is needed. This is a “plant early and often” kind of hybrid with a fit on most acres, including low and high productivity fields. It also makes a great silage choice. Responds well to intensive fertility management.

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

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

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.
