KEY STRENGTHS
Big yields! Healthy plant with great stalks and roots. Moderate plant structure. Deep kernels and heavy test weight. Very good Goss’s tolerance. Excellent early season vigor. Very good greensnap rating.

WEAKNESSES
Average southern rust tolerance.

POSITIONING
This is a go-anywhere hybrid that works under irrigation or on dryland and moves north very well. Very good stalks and roots on a medium-statured plant will give you a lot of confidence. Plant health is very good, as well. This hybrid flexes with some deep kernels and heavy test weight and responds very well to applied fertility. We do recommend a foliar fungicide around tassel as the disease tolerance package is good but not great, other than with tolerance to Goss’s.

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

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 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

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

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!

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.
