KEY STRENGTHS
Full-flex ear hybrid with excellent top-end yields! One of the better hybrids for both tar spot and Goss’s tolerance. Fast out of the ground and finishes strong with heavy test weight. Great choice for silage, as well, with very good tonnage and quality.

WEAKNESSES
Prefers good to better ground. Average drought tolerance.

POSITIONING
PowerCore® Enlist® hybrid with top-end yield for your good to better soils. Avoid drought-prone dryland fields. Keep populations moderate as full-flex ear doesn’t need big planting populations to make yield. Taller plant with slightly higher ear placement makes great yield or tonnage depending on your need. Responds well to higher P & K levels.

AGRONOMIC & DISEASE RATINGS

The higher the number, the better the performance or rating.

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.

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 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

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.
