KEY STRENGTHS
Tar spot tolerance and excellent overall plant health! Dominant yielder with deep kernels, heavy test weight, and nice ear flex. National line with very good stalks and roots.

WEAKNESSES
Not for your low-fertility or drought-stressed dryland ground.

POSITIONING
Homerun-hitting hybrid with everything you’re looking for from a yield perspective. Place this on your best ground and shoot for the moon! Excellent overall disease package including tar spot tolerance, so it will fit nationwide. It dries down quickly, so when it’s time to harvest, get it done. This product loves foliar fungicides around tasseling time and responds very well to PGR products like Amass at that same timing.

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!

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.

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!

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.

Mike, Othellow, Washington

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