OUR GROWERS

SAY IT BEST!

SOYBEANS

Even with the dry conditions, my H03X7’s shined on my farm. They handled the stress really well and yielded like crazy where conditions were more favorable.

- Joe from Northwest Minnesota My Hefty H008R6 soybeans have never let me down when I’ve planted them. They handle stress and disease well; plus, they are great yielders!

- Brett from Northwest Minnesota H06X8 is the most impressive bean I have had on my farm.

It fits into any situation.

- Nick from North Central Minnesota H20X7 was just full of pods, and it filled the rows quickly.

- Ron from Minnesota The H18X8’s are some of the best-looking beans in my area.

- Lyle from Minnesota Very impressed in my first year with Hefty LibertyLink beans. Had clean fields, as well!

- Adam from Lincoln County, Minnesota with H17L6 This is our second year with Hefty LibertyLink beans. The weed control is amazing and the yield is top notch!

- Jacob from Murray County, Minnesota with H17L6 My Hefty Enlist soybeans give me weed control options and fit my variable soils well. I like the Hefty Complete seed treatment, too. Other dealers only have the basic treatment.

- Dennis from Pope County, Minneosta

CORN

Hefty 4612 has great early vigor and is even across the field, even if the field has variability.

- Gary from Stevens County, Minnesota H4522 looks like a yield monster starting at emergence. This number has a very dark green color and came out of the ground faster than the others.

- John from Canby, Minnesota H5212 was one of the best looking and yielding varieties on my farm last year, and it is off to a great start this year. It is the first one out of the ground and stands great all year.

- Pat from Brown County, Minnesota My Hefty corn came out of the cold, wet ground faster than any other corn on our farm.

- Tony from Breckenridge, Minnesota Last year I had H5302 planted next to DK5358, and the Hefty was way better. I didn’t bother with the Dekalb this year.

– Charlie from Minnesota I have this planted right outside my front door, and I am glad I did. It has looked great all year long! Can’t wait to harvest.

– Loren from Minnesota with H5214 I called my Hefty agronomist and told him to put a sign by this field. It looks fantastic!

– Nate from Minnesota

H14L8 was a rockstar for me last year. Canopy came very fast and yielded the best on my farm.

- Jon from Southwest Minnesota

This is my second year planting Hefty corn. The 4612 was lights out for me last year and this year. Even with the wet conditions and late planting, it still looks pretty impressive.

- Paul from Stevens County, Minnesota

Hefty beans look to be dominant this year again even with the wet weather we’ve had.

- B. from Southwest Minnesota with H17X9

The emergence on all 3 varieties was very quick and showed great response to fertility.

- Corey from Minnesota
