Abstract: A method of producing a aerated food product which may be frozen, freeze dried, or dried. The method includes providing a raw ingredient composition having a desired first viscosity, aerating the composition to a desired second viscosity with a desired amount of aeration, shaping the aerated composition, and depending on the food product, freezing the shaped aerated composition, freeze-drying the shaped aerated composition or drying the shaped aerated composition.

Abstract: An improved bracket assembly for supporting seed planting appurtenances in substantial alignment with respect to a seed tube of an agricultural planter. The bracket assembly comprises a housing having opposing first and second sides. The housing includes mounting structure for rigidly securing the housing operably with respect to the planter frame. The sides of the housing further include interior walls for maintaining the sides of the housing in spaced apart relation. The housing may support various appurtenances alone or in combination, including a resilient tool, a liquid conduit, and a support arm for supporting any number of desired conduits all in substantial alignment with the seed tube.
