KEY STRENGTHS
Big yielding VT4PRO™ hybrid! Solid plant with great agronomics! Very good roots and stalks with good staygreen and fall appearance. Above-average drought tolerance. Excellent drydown at harvest with heavy test weight. Moderate-statured plant with nice ear flex for girth and kernel depth.

WEAKNESSES
Slightly below average on tar spot.

POSITIONING
Outstanding hybrid for yield and agronomics. Works best in the cornbelt and west. Average ratings on northern corn leaf blight and gray leaf spot lead to a recommendation of foliar fungicide application around tassel. This hybrid has plenty of ear flex so there’s no need to use higher populations. Responds very well to soil fertility and applied nutrient applications, especially with P & K.

AGRONOMIC & DISEASE RATINGS

H4687 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 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

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 put my Hefty corn up to my favorite Pioneer and Dekalb, and wow does it perform! I’ll keep planting Hefty!

Luke, Iowa

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

Devon, Southeast Nebraska

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

The emergence and yields I have gotten from my Hefty Brand Seed have been outstanding!
