    About:

    Upper Murray Seeds (UMS) is a forward-thinking Australian agribusiness built on solid foundations and sound values.

    We're a fully integrated family-owned company that was established in 1993.

    At UMS we have a strong commitment to developing innovative pasture and forage crop cultivars suited to the wide range of climates experienced across Australia and around the world.

    In 2018, UMSโ€™s R&D program expanded significantly with the establishment of the UMS Cressy Research Station in the Tasmanian midlands. This centre of excellence is where new varieties are developed and assessed under a system of replicated trial plots and broader grazing trials to measure specific traits such as yield palatability and persistence prior to the release of any new variety.

    Our seed production is done through our production farms in Tasmania and NSW as well as with contract growers in Tasmania and mainland Australia.

    The future of UMS is both exciting and challenging as we continue to grow and invest in breeding new varieties to meet the future needs of Australian farmers.
