KEY STRENGTHS
Strong performance with impressive ear flex! National line with solid overall defense including good tar spot protection. Plant at a moderate population, as this hybrid flexes for kernel depth, length, and girth. Powerful roots and stalks set you up for success.

WEAKNESSES
Likes good to better soils.

POSITIONING
This hybrid really likes available fertility early in the season and should fit well on your good to better ground. With exceptional ear flex, you can plant at lower to moderate populations and expect success. National line with great east-to-west movement in the 95- to 100-day zone. Plant this hybrid first as it has strong emergence and early vigor.

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!

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 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.

Nathan, Watertown, South Dakota

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.
