US: CubicFarms sells 2 HydroGreen DGS 66 machines to Golden Rule Dairy in Arizona

CubicFarm has sold an additional 2 HydroGreen DGS 66 machines to Golden Rule Dairy, located in Elfrida, Arizona.

In July 2023, CubicFarms' ruminant livestock feed subsidiary company, HydroGreen, commissioned a HydroGreen DGS 66 machine at Golden Rule Dairy, a 100% family-owned and operated Jersey cow dairy.

"Our journey with HydroGreen began with a comprehensive tour of their Innovation Center in South Dakota, leading us to the pivotal decision to invest in an initial DGS 66 system. Faced with the challenge of limited land on our 15-acre dairy, the DGS presented us with a transformative solution: the ability to grow our own high-quality feed on-site. And not just any feed—the best feed!" said Justin Strite, Manager and Production Supervisor at Golden Rule Dairy. "The initial phase involved a learning curve, from perfecting the environmental controls to optimizing water schedules. However, the perseverance to master the cultivation of barley in a controlled setting has been worth it, offering us capabilities beyond the scope of traditional farming. Since its inception on our farm, our DGS system has delivered consistent, tangible benefits, leading to a substantial 33% cost savings on feed within five months. This efficiency has encouraged us to expand, adding two more units to our operation."

John de Jonge, Interim CEO and President at HydroGreen, stated, "Having spent my entire life in the dairy industry, it warms my heart to see more and more progressive dairy farmers understand the benefits of feeding HydroGreen to their herds. The Strite family is an industry leader when it comes to caring for their herd. Golden Rule's use and expansion of HydroGreen's technology underscores the tangible benefits our systems provide to progressive dairy operations, enabling them to differentiate themselves in the market and achieve sustainable success. We are proud to partner with them and be a small part of their success."
