KEY STRENGTHS
Top-yielding SmartStax® PRO! Acre-friendly hybrid that fits on most soil types and crop rotations. Dependable plant structure. Nice ear flex with girth, length, and deep kernels. Handles Goss’s, northern corn leaf blight, and stalk anthracnose well.

WEAKNESSES
Needs a fungicide application for tar spot and southern rust.

POSITIONING
This hybrid will surprise you with “hidden yield” due to a slightly longer ear husk. Powerful performer on a wide range of soil types and yield environments. It does respond well to higher fertility and management. We recommend foliar fungicide application at tassel, as the weakness is southern rust and tar spot tolerance. You can save some money by using a moderate planting population as this hybrid has very good ear flex.

AGRONOMIC & DISEASE RATINGS

H5904 Agronomic Chart

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

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 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

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.

Mike, Othellow, Washington

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