HSR Maize Seed
HSR Maize Seed, proudly New Zealand and Australia-owned, has been breeding hybrid maize seed for over 40 years with genetics carefully selected and trialed in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres and supplying these into the New Zealand market for the last 10 years.
Despite competing with multinational corporations, we’re proud to say that we are Australian and New Zealand owned. Our developments in hybrid seed are helping Australians and New Zealanders to grow better crops, enhancing our nations’ reputation for quality produce worldwide.
HSR Seed’s hands-on, down to earth research and development into new hybrid seeds has made a significant impact on the Australian and New Zealand maize industry for decades. We carry out the majority of our initial research and trial work at the HSR Seeds Research Stations in Queensland, NSW and Victoria and New Zealand. Tests on more promising varieties are then carried out at numerous trial sites on properties throughout the maize growing areas of Australia and New Zealand, under a wide range of environments and growing conditions. We constantly work with plant breeding partners worldwide to source quality genetic material that we can work with to develop new exclusive varieties, with superior traits to those currently available.
Until their conclusion in 2019, HSR hybrids featured in the independent FAR Maize Performance Trials and scored highly in comparative trials results from around New Zealand.

High-quality and cost-effective
HSR has been breeding maize varieties for 40 years using genetics from around the world. They are committed to delivering high-quality seed to its customers.
Currently, HSR is the only New Zealand maize seeds breeder to put their germination test results on EVERY bag, reassuring a grower the knowledge that HSR seed is top quality and passes industry standards.
Guy says the trials also stack up, with HSR hybrids compared favourably with competitor brands in the independent FAR Maize Performance Trials in 2019.
"Not only is HSR maize seed the real deal, but it’s also a great deal at $454 per bag (+GST, + FAR levy) - around 15-20% better value than the other brands on the market.
"All HSR seed is Poncho-treated as standard to ensure the crop gets off to the best possible start – and it’s included in the price of the bag," he adds.
The only trial that matters is the one on your farm
Now is the perfect opportunity for maize growers to compare HSR hybrid performance against their current maize choice. Guys says a couple of bags of HSR Maize Seed up the middle of a paddock will give a true picture of how the crops stack up.
"We let our customers come to the verdict of how well our seed performs without any interference. We’re completely transparent and let the hybrids speak for themselves,” says Guy.
"All you need to do is plant a bag or two alongside your current hybrid and compare. Don’t let anyone tell you that the reason for a great price is that we’re selling low-quality stock, that’s simply untrue - you’re getting the best seed direct from the distributor, plain and simple”, says Guy.

Cattle Feed Storage on Farm
As with any grain or meal feed products need to be kept dry as moisture combined with heat can cause fungi to grow. Common on farm storage methods are: in a shed or unused fertiliser bin; in a covered pit; on a concrete pad; or in a cutting, covered with plastic sheet and tyres. Most feed should be used reasonably expediently (within 40 - 50 days). The longer you plan to store feed products the better your storage facilities need to be.
