KEY STRENGTHS
Excellent western PowerCore Enlist hybrid! Top-notch yields with Goss’s wilt, gray leaf spot, and northern corn leaf blight tolerance. Strong stalks. Very good late-season staygreen and intactness. Moderate plant stature.

WEAKNESSES
Average test weight and southern rust tolerance.

POSITIONING
This is how ideal corn plants should look. Moderate plant structure with ears that aren’t as high as your head and with great staygreen and intactness until harvest. It has strong tolerance to the “western” diseases like Goss’s and northern corn leaf blight. With top-end yield potential, you can put this on your good to better acres and feed it well for maximum success. The hybrid has enough ear flex and kernel depth to win with moderate populations. Protect this from corn rootworm and other secondary insects by using a planting-time insecticide.

AGRONOMIC & DISEASE RATINGS

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

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!

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

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

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.
