Aber Lasting (pictured) incorporates the benefits of caucasian clover with white clover.

Upper Murray Seeds southern NSW area manager Andrew Harborne said Aber Lasting established quicker than caucasian clover, and recovered more quickly than white clover.

“It’s also more drought tolerant, has excellent cold tolerance and can withstand heavy grazing, and its nitrogen fixation is comparable to white clover,” Mr Harborne said.

He said the Upper Murray Seeds agronomy team understood how important it was to take a strategic approach to farming and worked with landholders to grow their business through pasture renovation with purpose.

Upper Murray Seeds is a privately Australian-owned seed business.

“Our agronomy team enjoys the opportunity to connect with farmers and explain the importance of strategically planning pasture renovation,” Mr Harborne said.

“By working together to make better choices, we can strategically overcome feed shortages, improve soils and build pasture base,” he said. “Some of the tools include super multipurpose lucernes, Silverado (winter activity 9) and Silverosa GT (winter activity 7).”

Upper Murray Seeds can be found on 6th Farm Avenue at the field days.
