- Video shows cows at the World Ag Expo, the opening ceremony, and Pro Refrigeration technology
- Damon Reed with Pro Refrigeration tells me they’re the first to pioneer a natural refrigerant to cool milk down from 98° at the farm to 36°.
The milk and cheese in your fridge start with cows, and one Bakersfield organization at the World Ag Expo has developed an environmentally friendly way to get those dairy products from the cattle farm to the grocery store.
Moving from the cow to the shelves is not a simple process.
Damon Reed with Pro Refrigeration, one of the featured exhibitions at the World Ag Expo says his company takes on the refrigeration.
“The temperature of a cow is around 100° to 102° is kind of their normal temperature, which is why we get milk at 98°,” Reed explained.
He tells me his company is the first to pioneer the instant cooling process.
“Standard synthetic refrigerants, those are damaging to the atmosphere.”
He says the natural CO2 refrigerant cools milk from 98° at the farm to 36° without contributing to global warming.
