KEY STRENGTHS
Gorgeous plant with big kernels and long ears! Excellent yielder with heavy test weight grain. Nice fall appearance and good intactness. Fast drydown. Very good stalks and roots. Can work as a dual-purpose option with nice tonnage and quality, as well.

POSITIONING
This is the last release out of the SmartStax® program. It was just too good not to bring out. High yield potential with tons of ear flex so you don’t have to over-populate. Solid agronomics and a great fall appearance. This hybrid responds very well to fertility inputs, especially P & K. If tar spot is in your area, use a foliar fungicide. This hybrid fits in all yield environments.

AGRONOMIC & DISEASE RATINGS

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

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

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 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

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!
