Morton's is proud to market and sell the Aber® High Sugar range of grass seed in Northern Ireland as developed by IBERS. Members of the Morton's team regularly visit IBERS in Wales to see the latest innovations in grass production.

Aber® High Sugar Grasses, developed through traditional breeding techniques to have increased sugar levels, allow cattle and sheep to use more protein from the grass. Tests show that this increases the production of meat and milk while reducing emissions of greenhouse gases, and other pollutants. Varieties of the grasses now account for some 175,000 hectares of UK grassland.
