Key Strengths
· Powerful new SmartStax® hybrid! Fast emergence and early growth lead to a girthy ear, high yields, and fast drydown in the fall. Strong Goss’s and anthracnose stalk rot tolerance. National placement.
Weaknesses
· Average test weight and gray leaf spot tolerance.
Positioning
· Broad acre placement is recommended for this hybrid, and continuous corn is a possibility. Manage gray leaf spot with foliar fungicide protection. Taller hybrid with above average greensnap tolerance. Responds well to starter fertilizer and intensive management.

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

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

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.
