KEY STRENGTHS
Eye-popping yielder! The yield data will speak for itself on this hybrid, but there’s more to the story. Strong drought tolerance, fast emergence, excellent early vigor, and tremendous drydown. Plant this hybrid first. Will move north very well with this kind of drydown and performance.

WEAKNESSES
Only average on tar spot.

POSITIONING
National line with a great fit on good to better soils. Trecepta provides the best above-ground insect protection on the market. Use a corn rootworm insecticide at planting and a foliar fungicide with Nutex EDA at tassel to protect your investment. To push for top-end yield, available fertility early in the season is a big help with either starter fertilizer or rich soils. This hybrid responds very well to Maxx NS or Alpha Complete at planting time.

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

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

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.

Devon, Southeast Nebraska

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