KEY STRENGTHS

Standout yielder with a great fit on most soil types! Very good Goss’s and gray leaf spot tolerance tolerance. Outstanding ear flex with long ears and deep kernels. Excellent drydown. Fast emergence. Works very well, even with lower planting populations.

WEAKNESSES

Average tolerance to tar spot and NCLB.

POSITIONING

This hybrid has a broad acre fit for soil types and yield environments. You’ll love the ear flex and can win by having good fertilizer availability early and by not needing to over-populate. With the fast drydown of this hybrid, harvest it timely as it may not look ready to go when the moisture content is ideal. Utilize a tasseling time fungicide application for help with tar spot and northern corn leaf blight. This hybrid responds very well to products like NutriCharge that help with phosphorus availability.

AGRONOMIC & DISEASE RATINGS

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 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 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

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.

Mike, Othellow, Washington

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