Key Strengths
· Key early hybrid with excellent plant structure! High test weight and very good early vigor. Strong stalks and roots are the foundation to success and nice staygreen through the season. Fast drydown.
Weaknesses
· More of a determinate ear, so higher planting populations are recommended.
Positioning
· Fits in all rotations and soil types across MT, northern ND, and MN. Keep your populations up toward the higher end for your area. Responds well to fertility at planting.
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!
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!
The emergence and yields I have gotten from my Hefty Brand Seed have been outstanding!
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.
Out of everything I planted, Hefty has always been the first corn out of the ground over the last three years.
