KEY STRENGTHS
Plant health champ! Excellent defensive traits including best-in-class Goss’s protection, above average tar spot tolerance, and very good NCLB performance. You’ll love the deep kernels on this full flex ear hybrid.

WEAKNESSES
Loves good to better soils. Need more data on the tougher ground.

POSITIONING
Beautiful hybrid with great plant health and a nice fall appearance. Wider, semi-upright leaves catch a ton of sun and feed the full flex ear. This hybrid loves starter fertilizer or strip-till fertilizer and will make a girthier ear as a response. Use fungicides around tasseling time to enhance gray leaf spot and tar spot control. Late-season fertilizer availability will lead to a deeper kernel with good test weight. Plant early to take advantage of its strong early vigor and yield potential.

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.

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.
