[SOS-PCA] Any suggestions for seed storage freezer?

[Belt, Shawn - NRCS, Beltsville, MD]

Hi Everyone
We used the Norlake ( I think they’re made in MN?) upright freezers and had success with them for years.  That was a while ago and I’m unsure of their current quality…  Expensive but good quality was my impression.

If you're pressed for space I would go with the upright freezer. It allows you to utilize vertical space instead.

Does anyone have suggestions or recommendations of freezers to use for seed storage?  Our area has recently gotten funds for a freezer but we are at a loss as to what our options are.  I know this is a bit of an open ended question but any advice is appreciated.

Thanks,
