The farm in question is Cnossen Dairy, which was started 45 years ago. The dairy currently milks 11,000 cows and farms over 7,500 acres of cropland. Following the installation of the Grōv platform, it will have access to fresh watergrass based feed year round.
Grōv said the new Cnossen-Grōv Feed Center will be a key showcase in the region for demonstrating sustainable agricultural technology. It will house next generation vertical farming technology that will produce over 288,000 pounds of what Grōv has branded as High-Density Nutrient (HDN) Superfeed per day on “less than 5% of the water used in conventional farming.”
The turnkey growing platform allows for "predictable and highly nutritious feed year round" despite the effects of rapidly changing climates on traditional growing cycles, with Grōv claiming such savings will be critical in lessening the impact of drought conditions affecting dairies in West Texas and across the Western US.
The build will be completed in In Q1 2022, said Steve Lindsley, president of Grōv Technologies.
Collaborating on the new feed center will be a company called Dairy Specialists; they will provide local service and support for the automation, sensors, and machine learning capabilities of the new towers.
While the Texas project is set to be the largest, it is not the only installation that Grōv has initiated in the US. “Three centers are under construction at this time with completions scheduled in Q4 2021 and Q1 2022,” said Lindsley.
