Hefty Corn 5302 Plot Results
Last year I planted H5302 next to DK5358 and the Hefty was way better. I didn’t bother with the Dekalb this year.
We had good luck with this number the last few years and this year it had a pretty good discount on it so were going to keep planting it.
H5302 won my plot last year. This was my first experience with Hefty Corn. I will be planting again.
