PCF is seeking a well-maintained farm truck for seasonal use during the growing period. Its primary purpose will be transporting tools and produce across seven PCF sites. Hauling capacity is not a priority, and moderate to high mileage is acceptable, given that the truck will primarily remain in Ishpeming. Preference is for a smaller-sized truck rather than a larger one.
