Grōv Technologies says its Olympus Tower system is capable of producing thousands of pounds of animal feed per day using a fraction of the water and space of a conventional field.
Farmers are facing a problem of feeding an ever-growing human population with shrinking supplies of land and water.
At least, that s the argument Utah-based Grōv Technologies is making. The company developed the Olympus Tower Farm, which it describes as the “world’s largest, most advanced indoor vertical farming system for year-round fresh animal feed.”
A tower consists of floor-to-ceiling trays on conveyor belts, and one can produce 5,000 to 6,000 pounds of animal feed per day. That’s the equivalent production of 35 to 50 acres of conventional fields with only 5% of the water, according to the company’s president Steve Lindsley.

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
