Drummonds Ltd - Feed, Seeds and Grain Merchants.Serving farmers in the North East with their farming needs.Drummonds was founded by William Drummond in Stirling, Scotland in 1760. Originally sellers of a wide range of seeds, including flowers, vegetable and grass seeds, the company also distributed bulbs and nursery stock. Many years later the Drummond family established a similar business in Ireland with two shops in central Dublin and national distribution for all its products.Drummonds has over the years initiated a significant capital investment programme and developed the business across a more complete range of product lines, the animal feeds business has been developed and a chain of farm hardware shops added at our existing branches. We have developed excellent relationships with animal feed compounders, oilseed crushers, flour and oat millers and maltsters, allowing the company to develop markets for Irish grain both at home and abroad.Our policy is to produce quality ruminant (beef, dairy, sheep) feeds at our Bord Bia & UFAS accredited Feed Mill at Navan. We aim to optimize the inclusion of quality, locally-grown feed ingredients, thereby supporting tillage growers in the north-east, & simultaneously delivering unrivalled animal performance to our livestock farming customers.Drummonds agronomists work closely with our farmer customers, advising them on all aspects of crop husbandry. This relationship facilitates the introduction of new varieties, new production techniques with the objectives of improving farm profitability and developing closer trading links with our customers.Drummond's Grain Merchants core activity is the purchase and marketing of a wide range of grain types. The commodities handled include Feed Grains, Milling Oats, Milling Wheat, Malting Barley, Oilseeds and Pulses. In volume terms Drummonds is among the largest companies purchasing native grain direct from Irish Farmers.
