This is a hard one to figure out. It is basically a hydroponic garden on wheels. Not sure what the great innovation is here. It seems the idea is the feed supplier would have several of these semi trailers with hydroponically grown feed, then truck that to where the cattle are. Why wouldn't it be better to just grow the feed at a large hydroponic farm where water is nearby, harvest, then truck that to where the cattle are? It doesn't seem to make sense to truck around huge tubs of water as the main weight load and the only advantage to the feed and produce is that it can be harvested totally fresh.
