KEY STRENGTHS

Top-end yielder! SmartStax® PRO corn hybrid that checks the boxes. Great defense including above-average tar spot tolerance. Very good stalks and roots. Fast out of the ground with strong early vigor. Excellent drydown and heavy test weight. Handles high pH soils well.

WEAKNESSES

Average tolerance to gray leaf spot.

POSITIONING

National line with broad acre potential. Fits in all yield environments from low to high. Handles high pH soils well. This hybrid has girthy ears with deep kernels and responds much better to increased fertility than increased population. Plant it first, as it has the toughness and early vigor to handle it. Foliar fungicide at tassel is recommended for plant health and added disease protection.

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

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 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

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.
