25.01.2022 Southern NSW Area Manager, Charlotte Sutherland took advantage of this great #spring weather with a trip to Wagga last week. Charlotte was able to catch up with Tom from Delta Agribusiness while checking up on this Charles Sturt University Farm paddock of UMS #Charlem Winter Active Fescue and #SilverLand GT 5 Lucerne. #sowmuchbetter #fescue #lucerne #agriculture

25.01.2022 Just another day at the UMS Cressy Research Station! Our R&D team have been very busy lately, putting our Doosan Australia excavator to good use, while they clear trees and get the station ready for a new pivot irrigation system. #sowmuchbetter #sowmuchresearch #research #development #irrigation #discoverdoosan Doosan Equipment

25.01.2022 2020 was the first year trying out UMS #Massive Forage Oats for Muttama local, Darren Crawford. After seeing this late-maturing oat variety at a local field day, Darren took a punt and sowed it in early April at 60kg/ha. Since then 100kg of MAP and 110kg of Urea have been applied, and in 2-3 weeks it’ll get made into hay. Darren says, Early on I was really impressed with how dark green it was. The paddocks we planted with the #Massive just stood out a mile away. Darren was pleasantly surprised and says, It’ll definitely be the only oat I’ll grow in the future! #sowmuchbetter #farmerfeedback #forageoats #spring

08.01.2022 Father and son duo, Tim and Guy Paramore chose UMS #Blast Annual Ryegrass as a productive pasture option for their Burrumbuttock property. In early May it was direct drilled into an old stand of phalaris and sub clover, with 1kg of grazing canola, at 15kg/ha. 80kg/ha of MAP was applied during sowing and it was later grazed by young trading steers for 2 weeks in July. In August it was topdressed with 100kg/ha of Urea. The paddock was then closed up for silage and produced 14...t/ha! Tim struggled to get the tedder to do its job as, it was just so heavy. These photos were taken two weeks after it was cut for silage. It will now be grazed by weaned lambs. For more info check out https://bit.ly/358H76W. #sowmuchbetter #farmerfeedback #annualryegrass

08.01.2022 Look at this UMS #Atomic Annual Ryegrass, sown for a 12ha trial at Bemboka, NSW. In Kevin’s words, it’s pretty impressive at this stage. Thanks Kevin for sharing, we cannot wait to see the next update from your trial! #sowmuchbetter #annualryegrass #repost

08.01.2022 Check out these pics of UMS #Charlem Winter Active Fescue, sent in from our production farm in Tassie.

06.01.2022 After searching for a suitable ryegrass online, Nathan Young from Kangaroo Island, South Australia, stumbled across #Atomic Annual Ryegrass. It all fell into place after speaking to his UMS Area Manager, Keith Lange who put him in contact with a local reseller Kangaroo Island Veterinary Clinic, and he's been really happy with the seed ever since! The paddock was sown at the end of May at 25kg/ha and was grazed for 3-4 weeks during July. 75kg of Urea was applied in August. Since cutting for hay in October, it has regrown significantly says Nathan. A couple of weeks ago it was baled and produced an impressive result of 7.2t/ha. In Nathan’s words he is very pleased with the result and states it’s ability to recover quickly really stood out. #sowmuchbetter #farmerfeedback #annualryegrass #spring
