GDUs to Mid-Pollination: 1350
GDUs to Black Layer: 2620
Pollination for Maturity: Late
Ear Type: Flex
Cob Color: Pink

KEY STRENGTHS
Monster yielder! Robust plant with a full flex ear makes excellent grain or silage. Disease tolerance package is solid with coverage on Goss’s, northern corn leaf blight, and tar spot. Fast emergence. Great stalks and roots.

WEAKNESSES
Doesn’t like high planting populations. With a full flex ear, you don’t need them, either.

POSITIONING
Great product for silage or grain corn. We’ve seen better stress tolerance and the best yield performance at moderate planting populations. Works well under irrigation or on dryland fields. This hybrid deserves placement on your good ground with medium to high fertility. It has a solid overall disease package, but a foliar fungicide application around tasseling time has shown a nice return on investment. Protect this hybrid from corn rootworm and secondary pests by using a planting-time insecticide.

AGRONOMIC & DISEASE RATINGS

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.

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!

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 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!
