KEY STRENGTHS
Rockstar yielder! Great yields with agronomics to match. Strong roots and stalks. Good staygreen and fall intactness. Very good overall disease tolerance with our top rating on Goss’s wilt. Nice ear flex that works well with moderate planting populations.

WEAKNESSES
No corn rootworm trait. Use an insecticide at planting.

POSITIONING
If you don’t need a corn rootworm trait and you’re planting a 100-day corn hybrid, this is going to quickly become a “go-to” product for you! The only real watchout for this national line is that its tar spot tolerance is average, so if you have tar spot, definitely use a fungicide. Otherwise, this is an almost spotless agronomic and disease tolerance package that works in soils of all productivity levels.

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

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

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

Out of everything I planted, Hefty has always been the first corn out of the ground over the last three years.
