KEY STRENGTHS

SmartStax® PRO corn hybrid with top yield potential! Excellent plant structure with the power to take on continuous corn or rotated ground. Full flex ear with deep kernels. Fits on most soil types and yield environments.

WEAKNESSES

Average tar spot tolerance.

POSITIONING

Broad acre placement potential for this high-yielding SmartStax® PRO corn hybrid. It loves the good to better ground with higher fertility management, but it’s tough enough to handle the lower-yielding fields, too. Has enough ear flex where you don’t need to push the planting population too high to achieve your yield goals. Use a foliar fungicide at tassel to protect against tar spot and gray leaf spot.

Joe, Southeast Minnesota

My Hefty Corn has yielded very well for me the past couple of years!

Armin, Southwest Minnesota

Our farm has used Hefty hybrids for at least 4 seasons and we continue to use them. We are 75% corn most years and these varieties have handled our challenging growing conditions on high pH, poorly drained soils as well as anything we have found.  The service from Jack in Watertown has been very good anytime we wanted to switch hybrids or had any issues with a specific hybrid.

Hefty always brings good products and information. I have good luck with their products!
