Grōv Technologies
UNDER CONTROL: This unique vertical farming system produces fresh cattle feed every day. The automated system creates feed that s free of pesticides, and the company claims higher feed efficiency too. A new system from Grōv Technologies guarantees fresh, green feed every day for beef or dairy cattle. The momentum is undeniable now for what everyone is calling controlled environment agriculture, says Steve Lindsley, president, Grōv Technologies, a Utah-based startup. Grōv takes the benefits of CEA and focuses it on animals.
You read that right; Grōv is focused on raising feed indoors that s high-quality, consistent and produced in an environment with no need for pesticides. The original idea was to produce that feed to be distributed around the world, but more recently, the approach has turned more local. Really local.

MOSIDA, Utah â Not too far south of Salt Lake City, you will find the Bateman Dairy Farm. Itâs a farm where the cattle have quite the view. The Wasatch Mountain Range rises up across Utah Lake.
âThe right way to take care of cows is to make them happy and comfortable,â said Brad Bateman.
Bateman has worked the farm since he was a small boy alongside his family.
âThere was no hanging out or having fun here; it was all work,â he said with a chuckle. âOur family developed the farm ground and broke a lot of this ground out of sagebrush.â
