KEY STRENGTHS
National line with big-time yields! Strong drought tolerance. Healthy plant all year long with very good overall disease tolerance including Goss’s and tar spot. Excellent ear flex allows for success with lower planting populations. Dual-purpose potential.

WEAKNESSES
Average southern rust tolerance.

POSITIONING
Very strong candidate for your conventional acre that saves you money on seed cost, as we recommend cutting population by 2000 to 4000 plants versus your regular plan. Very good tar spot and Goss’s tolerance levels help keep this plant healthy and green throughout the season. This hybrid works under irrigation or on dryland fields. We recommend a foliar fungicide application, especially for southern rust. We recommend a planting-time insecticide application for corn rootworm and secondary insect protection.

AGRONOMIC & DISEASE RATINGS

H6090 Agronomic Chart

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!

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.

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 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.

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.
