Central Montana Mobile Refrigeration Trailer Rental

MFU Foundation announces $21K in grants

The local source article “MFU Foundation announces $21K in grants,” dated October 12, 2022, reports Power Public Schools received funding for a new freezer in a Montana Farmers Union grant round. The October 12, 2022 account explained that many local ranchers lacked room for large meat quantities until the school could receive them. The project proposed quadrupling school freezer capacity to expand local purchasing. Power, Dutton and Fairfield are among the communities we serve in Central Montana, along with Vaughn, Great Falls and Black Eagle. Fort Shaw and Simms connect the Sun River corridor, with Cascade and Belt along southern and eastern routes. Choteau, Conrad and Valier extend the Rocky Mountain Front approach; Shelby and Sunburst connect the northern route. Chester, Havre, Chinook and Harlem broaden Hi-Line coverage. Fort Benton and Big Sandy link the Missouri River corridor. Denton, Stanford, Hobson, Lewistown and Moore extend the central agricultural communities, with Harlowton and White Sulphur Springs to the south

The October 12, 2022 grant account showed how a school’s freezer limit also affected its local suppliers. Increasing purchasing ambitions alone would not give ranchers room to keep larger meat quantities until the buyer could receive them.

A comparable Central Montana school could consider temporary mobile refrigeration rental for the period between an accepted delivery and use in meals. Base that interval on the order and menu schedule rather than the entire farm-to-school program.
