"Several weeks ago, Colorado was hit with one of the most severe storms in history, with over 30 inches of snow and 60 mph winds. We are also one of the highest hail-storm regions in the county which can wipe out our field grown feed in one storm. "Installing the Olympus Tower Farm is just one of many steps I'm taking to improve the predictability and susainability of our farm," said AJ De Jager. The high plains of Colorado offer an ideal climate for dairy farms, but they face growing threats from changing climates and rising costs of land and water due to population growth.
The Hunter Ridge Dairy is one of 74 dairies in Weld County, which has become the 17 th largest dairy region in the U.S. De Jager established the Hunter Ridge Dairy in Ault, Colorado seven years ago and now manages over 4,000 milking cows. AJ De Jager, who will be joining Grov Technologies as a senior advisor, is a fourth-generation dairyman from Central California.
