KEY STRENGTHS
Big-time yields! Flex ear hybrid that makes the big yields with lower populations. One of the better tar spot tolerances on the market. Great overall disease protection package. Fast emergence and strong early vigor. Handles high pH soils extremely well.

WEAKNESSES
Physoderma brown spot.

POSITIONING
National line with excellent southern movement and broad-acre appeal! Xyway at planting time solves the one main weakness this hybrid has: physoderma brown spot. Plant at lower to medium populations as this hybrid has a flex ear, especially for kernel depth and ear length. Strong, sturdy plant through the season that dries down efficiently and should be towards the front of your harvest order on the farm. We expect great responses to Maxx NS and Alpha Complete at planting and recommend a PGR product like Amass and potentially some additional boron around tasseling to accentuate the ear fill.

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

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

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!
