KEY STRENGTHS
Exciting SmartStax® product with dual-purpose potential! Tall hybrid with a very good stalk that produces heavy kernels and a lot of tonnage. Works very well in continuous corn.

WEAKNESSES
HPPD herbicide tolerance to 2-3X rates is not great, so follow the labels and don’t overlap. Drought tolerance is slightly below average.

POSITIONING
This is a really good SmartStax® product that can push for very high yields and also produce tonnage if you need a silage corn. It excels in high yield environments but needs adequate moisture, so avoid droughty areas. The roots are good, but we’ve seen an advantage adding an insecticide and Alpha Complete in the furrow.

AGRONOMIC & DISEASE RATINGS

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

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

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

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

Mark, Southeast 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

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.
