VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 13, 2024 – CubicFarm® Systems Corp. (“CubicFarms” or the “Company”) (TSX-V:CUB), a leading agricultural technology company, is pleased to announce that its ruminant livestock feed subsidiary company, HydroGreen Inc. (“HydroGreen”) has identified a new feed centre site in Chowchilla, California, located in the heart of the California Central Valley. This facility will be dedicated exclusively to supporting dairy operations in the surrounding Chowchilla region, enhancing the sustainability and efficiency of local dairy farms.
The new site is part of HydroGreen’s strategic expansion to meet the growing demand for sustainable livestock feed solutions. Market Offtake Agreements (“MOTs”) have been signed with a group of local dairy operations to supply 85 tons of HydroGreen’s high-quality feed daily. The feed centre, equipped with 40 GLS 808 machines, will have the capacity to produce 128 tons of fresh sprouted grains each day. These agreements ensure that the feed will be supplied at market prices, supporting the economic and environmental goals of dairy farmers in the region.
“The identification of our third feed centre in Chowchilla demonstrates our commitment to the dairy industry and our focus on sustainable agricultural practices,” said John de Jonge, CEO of HydroGreen. “By localizing feed production, we aim to reduce transportation costs and environmental impact, providing fresh, high-quality feed directly to dairy operations in Chowchilla and the surrounding areas.”
The Chowchilla feed centre is strategically located to leverage the agricultural strengths of the California Central Valley, known for its significant contribution to the nation’s dairy supply. This initiative not only supports local agriculture but also aligns with HydroGreen’s mission to revolutionize feed production through innovative, sustainable agricultural technologies.
