KEY STRENGTHS
Top-end yielder for your best ground! If you feed this hybrid season-long, it will produce a girthy ear with deep kernels and showcase the grain quality and test weight you long for. Could be a nice silage hybrid, as well.

WEAKNESSES
Average disease tolerance, so avoid continuous corn and use foliar fungicides. Also avoid poor soils.

POSITIONING
Top conventional hybrid for your good to better soils. Feed this well all season to achieve the best potential yields. Responds very well to higher management, including planting-time fertility applications, Alpha Complete in-furrow, Xyway in a 2 X 2 placement, and foliar fungicide applications.

AGRONOMIC & DISEASE RATINGS

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 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.

I put my Hefty corn up to my favorite Pioneer and Dekalb, and wow does it perform! I’ll keep planting Hefty!

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!
