VANCOUVER, BC, April 20, 2021 /CNW/ - CubicFarm® Systems
Corp. (TSXV: CUB) ("CubicFarms" or the "Company"), a local
chain agricultural technology company, has been awarded a Nexus
Innovation Award for HydroGreen's Vertical Pastures™ Grow System,
an automated, on farm fresh livestock feed technology created by
the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, HydroGreen
www.hydrogreenglobal.com.
Dairy industry publication Progressive Dairy hosted the most
exciting new dairy technologies, as selected by dairy farmers, at
this year's PDPW Business Conference in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, from March 17–18,
2021. In his article New dairy innovation award highlights
farmer-preferred technologies, Progressive Dairy editor
Walter Cooley described the
brand-new Nexus Innovation stage as "a live-format presentation
that was a cross between a TED Talk and a Shark Tank pitch."
Five new dairy innovations were presented with Nexus Innovation
Awards during the conference from more than a dozen applicants.
HydroGreen's unique automated technology for growing on farm fresh
livestock feed was selected by dairy farmers because with this
technology, dairies can gain more control over feed production and
conserve water and land without the need for chemicals or
fertilizers.
"We're honored to be selected by dairy farmers to receive this
Nexus Innovation Award," said Dan
Schmidt, President, HydroGreen. "Our technology was created
by farmers who were facing significant drought on their ranches and
needed a solution to feed their livestock fresh feed year-round.
Dairy farmers seeking reliable, consistent on farm feed are excited
about HydroGreen's innovative technology."
The nutritious HydroGreen fresh livestock feed is low in starch,
high in energy, high in protein, high in sugar, and relatively low
in potassium. The unique germination and HydroGreen growing process
creates high levels of natural hydrolytic enzymes that, when
combined with the other ingredients in the total mixed ration,
increase the digestibility of the entire diet.
"Farmers around the world want nutritious livestock feed for
their animals and they need innovative solutions to address
drought, water shortages, and land scarcity issues," said Dave
Dinesen, CEO, CubicFarm Systems Corp. "HydroGreen's Vertical
Pastures™ provide a predictable local chain ag-tech solution that
empowers farmers."
HydroGreen automated fresh livestock feed production system was
awarded the Nexus Innovation Award with other technologies
including an augmented reality headset for herd check, an automated
high-moisture corn feeder for milking robot boxes, an infrared
manure drying and sanitizing system, and a cloud-based
machine-learning digital dairy assistant.
