KEY STRENGTHS
Game-changing yield performance! Medium-statured plant type with powerful stalks and roots will thrive in your good to great soils. Fast drydown and heavy test weight will make this a fun hybrid to harvest in the fall. Above-average tolerance to two of the newest disease problems, tar spot and physoderma, is a great bonus!

WEAKNESSES
Drydown is surprisingly fast. Scout at harvest, as this one will be ready early.

POSITIONING
Compared to competitive hybrids in the industry, our testing program has shown a 5-10 bushel per acre advantage with this hybrid on fertile soils. This hybrid stood out in our greensnap trials as being one of the best, and its stalks and roots make this a low-risk, high-reward choice for your farm. We recommend placing this on your good to great soils in the 95- to 100-day maturity zone, but it will move north very well due to fast drydown and a tendency to flower earlier than other hybrids at this maturity. VT4Pro™ hybrids fit on your low to medium corn rootworm pressure acres and can be assisted by adding insecticide at planting time.

AGRONOMIC & DISEASE RATINGS

The higher the number, the better the performance or rating.

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 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.
