KEY STRENGTHS
National line with great yields and strong agronomics! Good to very good tolerance to southern rust and tar spot. Stable plant structure with big roots and stalks. Good ear flex for length and kernel depth. Excellent grain quality.

WEAKNESSES
Average tolerance to northern corn leaf blight.

POSITIONING
National line with broad-acre placement across soil types, crop rotations, and productivity levels. Moves both north and south out of its maturity zone. Doesn’t need high planting populations but does respond well to balanced and plentiful crop nutrients, so push the P, K, and S if you’re shooting for high yields. Very good disease tolerance ratings, but has just been average in our observations on northern corn leaf blight, so a foliar fungicide around tassel is recommended.

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 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 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 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!

Mark, Southeast South Dakota

Out of everything I planted, Hefty has always been the first corn out of the ground over the last three years.
