Cooma, New South Wales

Annual & hybrid ryegrass trial

Positioned in the Monaro region, this site helps farmers determine which ryegrass and forage oats perform best in cold-climate conditions.

About this site

Cooma provides a unique test for pasture persistence in low-temperature, high-altitude conditions. AlfaGen varieties are measured for winter activity, early establishment, and regrowth through frosty periods. These trials support local graziers with practical data on pasture management in challenging climates.

What we’re trialling:

Cold-tolerant ryegrass and oat performance
Establishment and regrowth under frost pressure
Feed quality and yield throughout the winter season

Pushing performance in Australia’s coldest paddocks

Cooma’s results demonstrate the reliability of AlfaGen varieties in one of the harshest pasture environments, ensuring consistent growth where it’s needed most.

Come out and take a look for yourself

There’s no better way to understand a seed’s performance than seeing it in the paddock. Our Territory Managers can connect you with upcoming field days and trial site visits, so you can walk the rows, see the results, and have a chat with the people who know the land best.
