KEY STRENGTHS
Great PowerCore® hybrid with very good stalks and excellent roots! Very good tar spot tolerance and handles Goss’s, too! Ear flexes for length and girth. Outstanding emergence and early vigor. Best-in-class staygreen and fall appearance. Very good grain quality and test weight.

WEAKNESSES
Likely works better from HWY 281 and east.

POSITIONING
Really solid overall hybrid to add to your cropping plan. The only watchout is we haven’t run west with it on a tough year, so use caution west of HWY 281. Fast emergence, great roots, solid stalks, and a gorgeous fall appearance make this one tough to beat. The tar spot tolerance is so much better than most of the hybrids on the market today, but you will still benefit from a tassel time fungicide application for broad-spectrum protection. There is good ear flex here, so keep that in mind while picking your planting population.

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 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

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.

Devon, Southeast Nebraska

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