KEY STRENGTHS
High-performance hybrid with broad-acre appeal! National line with top yields and stress tolerance. Starts fast and stays green through harvest. Very good tolerance to Goss’s and one of the better hybrids for tar spot tolerance, as well.

WEAKNESSES
Physoderma brown spot susceptibility.

POSITIONING
National line with a fit on most soils from low to high productivity. Moves north and south out of its maturity zone and has the drought tolerance needed to run west. Don’t skimp on planting population as this hybrid mainly flexes for length and has the stalks and roots to handle medium to higher populations. Maxx NS and Alpha Complete at planting are two natural-based products that have shown good response on this hybrid.

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.

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

Luke, Iowa

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

Mark, 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.
