Vicseeds $5000 Cash Giveaway Vicseeds is giving farmers the opportunity to win $5,000 cash just for buying and trying Avalon or Avalon AR1 perennial ryegrass.

Vicseeds is a long standing farmer owned company that specialises in growing and supplying Australian bred perennial ryegrasses.

Vicseeds flagship product Avalon perennial ryegrass is well known for its persistence and overall dry matter production, and is a mid to late maturing variety and is suited to all grazing enterprises.

The variety is now available as both Avalon, with wild type endophyte and Avalon AR1 with safe endophyte that will not cause staggers or any other animal health issues related to high levels of wild type endophyte.

With Avalon being bred from Australian based material, plant genetics play a major role in plant persistence. Vicseeds Sales Manager, Alan Gowers said ‘we know that endophyte does play some role in persistence but we believe plant genetics plays a big role.

The early NZ varieties that came out with high levels of wild type endophyte did not persist, which indicates plant genetics is extremely important in plant persistence'.

Mr. Gowers said, ‘we really want farmers to give Australian bred Avalon or Avalon AR1 a go, and I think when they try it they will be really impressed with its performance and persistence, hence we are offering the incentive of giving a farming family the chance to win $5,000 cash just for giving it a go'.

To enter the draw, simply purchase one or more bags of Avalon or Avalon AR1 perennial ryegrass seed from your seed retailer, remove the complete certified tags (blue or green) and post to ‘Vicseeds $5000 cash giveaway' PO Box 1544, Geelong, 3220, with your full name, address and contact details. Each tag is one entry.
