A crop production system for controlled environment agriculture, comprising:

• a grow line;
• a plurality of grow towers, each of the plurality of grow towers vertically attached to, and moveable along, the grow line;
• a conveyance mechanism operative to move the plurality of towers to a plurality of positions along the grow line;
• and
• wherein each of the plurality of grow towers comprises a tower body and a funnel disposed on the top of the tower body, wherein each of the plurality of grow towers further comprises a first plurality of plug containers arranged along a first face of the grow tower, and a second plurality of plug containers arranged along a second face of the grow tower, wherein the second face is opposite to the first face, and wherein each of the plurality of grow towers includes a central wall defining a first cavity containing the first plurality of plug containers and a second cavity containing the second plurality of plug containers;
• wherein each funnel comprises a first collector and a second collector, wherein the first collector is configured to direct fluid flowing therethrough over a desired region within the first cavity of the tower body, and wherein the second collector is configured to direct fluid flowing therethrough over a desired region within the second cavity of the tower body;
