KEY STRENGTHS
Landlord corn! Fast out of the ground with very strong early vigor. Strong roots and stalks with drought tolerance. Good tolerance to tar spot and Goss’s. Nice staygreen and intactness into the fall. Clean ears with no earworms or western bean cutworms. Top yielder!

WEAKNESSES
Good but not great on southern rust tolerance.

POSITIONING
National line that’s a nice yield upgrade at this maturity compared to Trecepta hybrids from the last few years. This is an all-around winner with the agronomics and yield potential you’re looking for. Plant this anywhere a Trecepta hybrid (no rootworm protection) fits, and protect from rootworms with insecticide as needed. Works under irrigation or in a dryland situation. Fertilize well for top performance and use a fungicide around tassel time for help on southern rust and to protect your crop from other foliar disases, as well.

AGRONOMIC & DISEASE RATINGS

H5005 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 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.

Paul, Southeast South Dakota

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

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.

Devon, Southeast Nebraska

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