Guests who gathered at the presidential inaugural luncheon in Statuary Hall in the U.S. Capitol about an hour and a half after the inauguration of President Donald Trump on Jan. 20 could look down at their plates and look forward to enjoying beef from Nebraska.
In her remarks before the luncheon, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar reported that part of the menu for the luncheon, hosted by the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, included Greater Omaha Angus ribeye steak from Nebraska and an apple icebox terrine made from apples from Klobuchar’s home state.
On Greater Omaha Packing Co.’s Facebook page, it noted the origin of the entrée of the day, saying, “We are proud to share our premium Great Omaha Angus ribeye was served as the centerpiece of today’s inaugural luncheon.”
Klobuchar and Nebraska Sen. Deb Fischer were front and center for much of the inauguration day festivities, including the swearing-in, because both served as ranking members on the JCCIC.
Return to the farm
A workshop series for families in the transition process of bringing members back to the farm or ranch, the two-day “Returning to the Farm” meeting will run March 8-9 at the University of Nebraska Extension office for Buffalo County in Kearney.
The series is set to assist families and ag operations in developing financial plans and successful working arrangements to meet their unique needs. The workshops will guide families in developing estate and transition plans, setting personal and professional goals, and improving communication processes between family members.
Nebraska Extension educator Jessica Groskopf says that organizers hope to have “two or three generations come to this together and take that time, as a family, to sit down, learn together and start these important processes.”
The workshop fee is $75 per person before March 1 and $85 after that. Registration includes dinner on March 8 and lunch on March 9. It also includes two follow-up workshops to be held virtually. Complete the registration by visiting cap.unl.edu/rtf25.
