About
Founded in 2015, HydroGreen is a dairy industry manufacturer based in Sioux Falls, United States selling farm equipment & herd tech.
HydroGreen is a division of CubicFarm Systems Corp., a company founded by farmers and acquired by CubicFarm in 2019. HydroGreen designs and sells automated indoor hydroponic systems, called Automated Vertical Pastures, that grow fresh sprouted grain forage for dairy cows and beef cattle on the farm. The systems grow barley or wheat on stacked levels with automated seeding, watering, lighting and harvesting, and are offered in machine sizes for different herd sizes. HydroGreen states the systems reduce methane emissions in dairy cows, use far less water and land than field production, and reduce reliance on feed supply chains. The company supplies through a network of certified dealers and partners in the United States, Canada, Italy, Japan, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, and provides installation, maintenance and nutrition support.
