KEY STRENGTHS
Impressive yielder with strong plant health through the season! Fast emerger that should be planted first. Top-notch stalks and roots that stay green until harvest. Girthy ear, often with 20 kernels around! Good drought stress tolerance.

WEAKNESSES
Will need a fungicide for tar spot and gray leaf spot protection.

POSITIONING
National line that will fit on many acres. The two watchouts are both diseases that can be negated with timely fungicide applications. Solid roots and stalks and a healthy plant that cranks out the yield! This fits everywhere from low-yielding areas to high-yielding ones. It does really like the early-season boost of Maxx NS, Alpha Complete, or starter fertilizer.

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.

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

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!
