KEY STRENGTHS
Powerful yielder! National line with strong agronomics. Fast emergence and good early vigor. Very good Goss’s and northern corn leaf blight tolerance. Flex ear with girth, length, and deep kernels.

WEAKNESSES
Average tar spot tolerance.

POSITIONING
This hybrid is a strong choice as part of your conventional corn program. It has top-end yield potential on your fertile ground and can handle tougher soils, as well. With a full flex ear, you can vary populations without giving up yield when you get ideal conditions. It has a solid overall disease tolerance package, but you will need a foliar fungicide, especially if tar spot is an issue. We recommend using a planting-time insecticide for corn rootworm and secondary insect control.

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

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 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 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

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!
