CubicFarm Systems Corp announced on Thursday that its HydroGreen Inc ruminant livestock feed subsidiary has closed the sale of six HydroGreen GLS 808 machines (one GLS system) to Cirio Agricola S.r.l, a technologically advanced dairy farm and one of Italy's top producers of milk.
The agricultural technology company said the GLS system will be sold to Cirio Agricola via Feed Solutions LLC, HydroGreen's distribution partner for the Italian market.
"The HydroGreen solution can significantly increase the production of milk, improve regional food security, and reduce the environmental footprint of production agriculture; it's like a panacea of solutions for dairy farms, making it especially beneficial for European countries where there are numerous subsidies readily available to farms like Cirio who want to invest in our equipment," HydroGreen president John de Jonge said in a statement.
The GLS system can produce over 34,000 pounds of feed per day, which Cirio plans to incorporate into the ration for over 750 dairy cows, representing 18% of their herd, according to the company.
CubicFarm noted that HydroGreen's renewed focus on international markets is equal priority to a new facet of the company's US strategy, which is to build feed hub facilities to sell the harvested feed by the ton to neighbouring dairy farmers, starting with a facility in Riverdale, California.
The CubicFarms system contains patented technology for growing leafy greens and other crops on-site, indoors, all year round.
