KEY STRENGTHS
Tough and dependable conventional hybrid! Strong yielder! Both parents have good high pH tolerance to go into iron deficiency chlorosis ground. Good drought and heat stress tolerance. Very strong Goss’s tolerance. Above average tar spot tolerance. Great staygreen and intactness.

WEAKNESSES
Average southern rust tolerance.

POSITIONING
Excellent choice as part of your conventional corn program as this hybrid can work well in high-yielding and low-yielding areas. Handles stress better than other hybrids. Plant this one early and often, but don’t mud it in as the penetrating roots need time and soil tilth to branch out properly. This hybrid will take advantage of applied fertility and should be protected with a planting-time insecticide as well as a tassel-time fungicide application, especially if southern rust is in the area.

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

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

Luke, Iowa

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!

Mark, Southeast South Dakota

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