2025 SEASONAL SUMMARY

In my 20+ years or being involved in the seed industry I can’t recall so many seed items being completely sold out. A combination of widespread domestic drought, a desire to restock hay sheds, sowing fast growing species for quick grazing and demand for annuals, clovers & lucerne from export clients has exhausted seed supply from Australia. There is a huge amount of pressure on this year’s harvest for all in the agricultural sector in Australia.

Australia continues to be seen as a reliable producer of quality pasture seed with a mix of professional, keen and innovative farmers willing to commit to seed production. Domestically, seed is now produced in 4 temperate states which is positive as it gives us a geographical production spread to ensure we produce seed even in tough seasons. Partnering with South Australian Seed Marketers (SASM) for your seed for sowing and seed production needs from Australia is a very wise decision for your seed business!

We have committed to attending the ESA for many years now and have felt privileged to meet so many good people in the global seed industry. For the most part the global language of seed transcends race, religion & culture where good people are just good people. The ESA is always a highlight on our calendar, and I look forward to catching up with friends and business associates as we work to build trade and relationships.

Hope you all have a great ESA and enjoy all that Scotland has to offer.
