Hefty Brand H6552 Corn

GDUs to Mid-Pollination: 1360
GDUs to Black Layer: 2700
Pollination for Maturity: Late
Ear Type: Flex
Cob Color: Red

KEY STRENGTHS
Powerful yielder! Add to that ASR tolerance and top-notch agronomics, strong test weight, and ear flex for length. Also a great silage choice!

WEAKNESSES
Goss’s wilt tolerance is weak.

POSITIONING
Yield is so good this will get pushed everywhere, and it does have broad acre placement potential. The best placement potential is on the East Coast. In the Midwest, moving south into the 115-day to 120-day market rather than moving too far north is where we’ve seen the best success. Avoid the Goss’s acres.

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!

Luke, Iowa

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!

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