KEY STRENGTHS
Start to finish, your new favorite hybrid! Exceptional early vigor and quick emergence. Beautiful hybrid all season long with late-season intactness and staygreen. Harvest for top-end yields or use this as a high tonnage silage product.

WEAKNESSES
Goss’s wilt and northern corn leaf blight (NCLB) tolerances are only average. Avoid lighter dryland soils with low fertility.

POSITIONING
Candidate for your best soils, as this has top-end production as either a grain or silage hybrid. Has a slender ear with excellent grain quality. Responds very well to Alpha Complete in-furrow, along with Xyway (great help on NCLB) and fertility in the 2 X 2.

AGRONOMIC & DISEASE RATINGS

The higher the number, the better the performance or rating.

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.

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

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 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!

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