Logan urged the dairy farmers at the meeting to work together to support the bill, which can help them control the price they receive from milk processors and to write to their state legisla tors expressing the importance of passage to them. Dairy fanners responded warm ly to his comments. They were especially pleased when Logan said the bill would respect the independence of the individual dairy farmer. They raised their Q Nothing Runs LikeaDeeref Lancaster Fanning, Saturday, February 22,1992-E23 Meeting Draws Crowd hands enthusiastically when asked if they supported the bill. The bill will permit the Ohio Director of Agriculture and milk producers to establish a fair survi val price for milk. No tax dollars will be used, The price will be a “survival floor” for the dairy farmers. One reason why dairy farmers are supporting the bill is because although they have seen a dramatic reduction in the prices paid to them, there has not been a corres ponding decline in milk prices in retailers’ dairy cases. The meeting had been called by Ohio Director of Agriculture, Fred Dailey, who said he was there to listen to hear what the dairy far mers had to say. Dairy fanner comments included, “Dairy far mers have to get a fair price. They don’t have a choice in what they receive. Right now the only thing that they can do is to work hard for over-order premiums, but this still doesn’t affect the price.” A Stark County dairy farmer said, “1 don’t want to be a million- COAGULATION. When was the last lime you "coagu lated” an egg? Well, if you made fried, scrambled, poach ed, or boiled eggs this morning, you did just that! Coagula tion is simply the conversion of the liquid egg to a solid or semisolid state. Upon heating, the structure of the protein molecules in an egg changes and the proteins bind tightly together; water is forced out of the structure, or is trapped inside. However, this property of eggs isn’t put to use only at breakfast time. Coagulated egg protein binds together food ingredients in meat loaves, casseroles, cookies and cakes, and the coagulation process is responsible for the thickening of custards and sauces. This property of eggs is difficult to duplicate with any other food ingredient. Here’s a neat little trick. The next time you drop an egg, don’t despair! Sprinkle it heavily with salt, then scoop it up with a pancake turner or a broad spatula. Coagulation is usually accomplished with heat, but adding enough salt or an acid ingredient, such as vinegar or lemon juice, will start the process too. NUTRITION. Eggs are a very good source of nutrition. They contain thirteen vitamins (all but vitamin C), and arc one of the few foods that contain vitamin D. They are a well balanced source of protein; in fact, except possibly for mother’s milk, eggs provide the best protein naturally available. Egg protein is a good source of the amino acids methionine, lysine, cystine, and tryptophan, all of which are in limited supply in many other major foods. Further, eggs taste good, and they are quick and easy to prepare. Eggs have been called “the cement that holds the castle of cuisine together,” and rightly so! Eggs emulsify and foam, coagulate and nourish, add flavor and color; and often, they are doing two or three of these at the same lime! Start reading your labels and pay attention to yourrecipes; you’ll be amazed at all of the places where these “behind the scenes” actors arc working for you. airc. I just want to pay my bills.” Ohio State University Agricul tural Economist Bob Jacobson and State Representative Ron Amstutz were also at the meeting. In the question and answer ses sion, one farmer asked Logan, “Why should dairy farmers in Ohio sell their milk for $1.45 less (per hundredweight) than farmers in Pennsylvania?” Logan replied that they shouldn’t and this is one reason why he is proposing House Bill 616. Jacobson addressed the subject of what the pending legislation could mean to the dairy fanners and reviewed the history of milk pricing that had been a federal pol icy since the 19405. Pricing in Ohio, which includes Federal Orders 33 and 36, would raise the safety net needed to prevent more dairy farms from selling out, but would not replace federal order pricing. Jacobson also predicted that without farmers taking some constructive action, the federal blend price could dip as low as $ 11.50 per hundredweight over the next five years.
