Drummonds will host an open day at its trial site in Termonfeckin, Co Louth, this Friday 17 June. This is a great opportunity to see the trials, which consist of new varieties and different agronomy management practices.
There are over 1,000 trial plots on-site, managed by Brian Reilly, who is the agronomy service manager at Drummonds.

The open day will start at 2.30pm and will run until 5pm. Attendees are asked to register at the Drummonds Drogheda Branch (A92DY06). A shuttlebus will then take attendees to and from the trial site.
