KEY STRENGTHS
Major SmartStax® PRO yield upgrade at this maturity! Tall hybrid that packs on the grain yield. Makes great corn silage, as well. Fast out of the ground with excellent early vigor.

WEAKNESSES
Use of a foliar fungicide is recommended to assist an average disease tolerance package.

POSITIONING
Big-time yielder that also tons out very well as corn silage. Broad acre placement is recommended throughout the Corn Belt and on the East Coast. Slightly higher populations and good potassium availability will help overcome husks that can be a little short. This hybrid has a fantastic response to intensive management including planting-time fungicide/insecticide/fertility/naturals (Alpha Complete). Use of a foliar fungicide is highly recommended, as gray leaf spot and southern rust can be hard on this hybrid.

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 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!

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

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.

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.
