Key Takeaways
- Forever Feed Technologies signed a $15 million contract with River Ranch Farms to build a major hydroponic livestock feed growing center in Hanford, California.
- The project includes construction of an FFT FeedCenter and two full-scale FFT GrowSystems, marking the first commercial deployment after successful pilot operations.
- Each FFT GrowSystem can produce up to 50 tons of fresh fodder daily and replace 350-500 acres of traditional farmland while using 95% less water than field-grown alfalfa.
- The completed facility will have capacity to feed more than 7,500 milking dairy cows when equipped with three FFT GrowSystems.
- Construction will begin next quarter following more than a year of pilot testing where ForeverFeed sprouted grain was successfully fed to milking cows at River Ranch Farms.
Forever Feed Technologies Reaches Commercial Milestone
Forever Feed Technologies announced a commercial breakthrough with a $15 million contract to build a hydroponic livestock feed growing center for River Ranch Farms in Hanford, California. The project represents the first commercial deployment of the company's FFT GrowSystem technology after extensive pilot testing.
Construction of the FFT FeedCenter and two full-scale FFT GrowSystems will commence next quarter. The systems produce ForeverFeed, which is hydroponically sprouted grain including wheat, barley, sorghum, and triticale blended into animals' total mixed rations.
Proven Performance Metrics
The FFT GrowSystem delivers substantial resource efficiency improvements over traditional feed production methods. Each system produces up to 50 tons of fresh fodder daily while replacing 350-500 acres of traditional California farmland and using 95% less water than field-grown alfalfa.
