KEY STRENGTHS

Strong hybrid with incredible root growth! Does a great job exploring more soil to find nutrients and water resulting in very good stress tolerance. Ear flexes for length and has very good grain quality.

WEAKNESSES

Average disease tolerance levels.

POSITIONING

This is a proven performer with stress tolerance and ear flex. Strong roots but average stalks and disease tolerance, so protect it in the higher moisture climates and utilize planting time insecticides. Utilize a full labeled rate of a Group 15 pre-emerge grass herbicide.

AGRONOMIC & DISEASE RATINGS

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!

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!

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.
