GDUs to Black Layer: 2440

KEY STRENGTHS
Tough hybrid, consistent winner! Full flex hybrid with deep kernels. Handles low and higher populations. Works across all soil types. Healthy plant with strong stalks. Very good Goss’s and northern corn leaf blight tolerance.

WEAKNESSES
Average tar spot tolerance.

POSITIONING
Strong yielder with a broad acre fit. Great hybrid to utilize variable rate populations with as it has full ear flex and can take advantage of rainfall and fertility. While the disease tolerance is generally good, if tar spot or southern rust are concerns, a fungicide application is recommended. This hybrid does respond well to added fertility inputs, especially P, K, S, and micronutrients.

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

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 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!

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

Devon, Southeast Nebraska

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.

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