Van Der Hoek has signed on to purchase six tons of sprouted-grain feed per day from the second phase of HydroGreen's feed facility in Riverdale, California.
VANCOUVER — CubicFarm Systems Corp., a local chain agricultural technology company, announced that its ruminant livestock feed subsidiary company, HydroGreen Inc., has signed a Memorandum of Terms (MOT) with Bar None Dairy, which is a dairy farm based in Helm, California, owned and operated by Pier Van Der Hoek.
Van Der Hoek has signed on to purchase six tons of sprouted-grain feed per day from the second phase of HydroGreen’s feed facility in Riverdale, California.
Feed from the planned first building at the future Riverdale facility has been fully committed, so Bar None Dairy will purchase feed from the planned second building that will house 10 HydroGreen GLS 808 commercial-scale machines. A system of 10 GLS 808 machines can produce up to 34 tons of feed per day, which amounts to approximately 12,000 tons of feed per building annually.
This project validates HydroGreen’s in-field product and presents an opportunity to expand its sales to other dairy and beef operations in the region. The undertaking aims to demonstrate the viability of HydroGreen’s innovative Feed as a Service (FaaS) business model and facilitate accelerated product adoption.
FaaS is an innovative agricultural model where HydroGreen will operate a regional feed facility and harvest the sprouted-grain nutrition from HydroGreen machines to sell to livestock feeding operations in the area. Having HydroGreen run operations at the feed facilities guarantees optimal feed production, quality control, and enhanced animal performance outcomes for producers.
