KEY STRENGTHS
One of the most exciting new conventional hybrids to come out of our testing program! Tremendous ear girth and deep, deep kernels. Good tolerance to tar spot and Goss’s wilt.

WEAKNESSES
Average test weight. Performs the best on better soils.

POSITIONING
Place this on your good to better ground and shoot for high yields! With excellent flex for ear girth, this hybrid benefits from early-season available fertility (pop-up or 2 X 2). With flex for kernel depth, ensure late-season nutrient availability or foliar application. This hybrid expresses above average tolerance for tar spot and other diseases but will still benefit from in-season fungicide applications.

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!

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

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

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