KEY STRENGTHS
Gorgeous hybrid with excellent yield potential! National line that loves your good to better soils. Tall hybrid with very good staygreen. Makes very good silage or grain corn.

WEAKNESSES
Avoid sandy dryland soils and high stress environments.

POSITIONING
This hybrid loves good ground and a corn-soybean rotation. Responds very well to insecticide, naturals, and fertility with the planter. You’ll generally see a very strong response to foliar fungicides in-season, as well. Late-season fertility (and your better ground) really helps this hybrid express deep kernels.

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!

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

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.

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.

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