KEY STRENGTHS
Powerful-yielding SmartStax®! With a fit in low- and high-yielding environments, this hybrid will find a place on many acres. Really strong top-end yield potential. Impressive late-season staygreen and intactness! Lots of ear flex will allow you to plant lower populations and still get great performance.

WEAKNESSES
Average rating on Goss’s Wilt, but it has enough tolerance to fit all but the heavy pressure fields.

POSITIONING
High-yielding hybrid with a broad-acre fit. Plenty of ear flex to use lower populations to your advantage. Great late-season plant health and intactness. This hybrid responds very favorably to Xyway in the 2 X 2 at planting. To accentuate the ear flex, planting time fertility applications are important. You should also see a nice impact from naturals like Alpha Complete at planting.

AGRONOMIC & DISEASE RATINGS

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

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

Luke, Iowa

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!

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.
