AMA HOSTS ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING IN NEW BUILDING
The American Museum of Agriculture held
its annual membership meeting August 25 at the
museum, the first of many to be hosted in our new
facility. With over 160 people in attendance, tables
and chairs continued to be added as more and more
members arrived to hear the latest from AMA.
AMA president, Dan Taylor gave a warm
welcome and recognized special guests who were in
attendance, including former AMA director Angela
Justice. Executive Director Lacee Hoelting asked for a
moment of silence to recognize those supporters of the
museum who we had lost since the last membership
meeting, including Joe Hall, volunteer, Steve Jones,
volunteer and husband of board member Patti Jones,
Jerry Meers, board member, James Carroll, former
volunteer, and Irene Brooks, who along with her late
husband Paul donated the pedal tractor collection to
the museum. All of these individuals left their own
legacy at AMA and will be missed. Vic Coker, AMA
board member from Muleshoe, gave the invocation
following the moment of silence.
Dan Taylor called the business meeting to order
where Waylon Carroll made a motion to approve
the 2011 minutes and Wayne Swart seconded the
motion. The minutes passed. Waylon Carroll, chair
of the nominating committee, recommended that
the membership re-elect board members Vic Coker,
Don Harris, Patti Jones, Clint Robinson and Brett
Underwood and add Dale Swinburn of Tulia, to the
board. There were no nominations from the floor.
Mitchell Harris made the motion to accept the
recommendations, which received a second from Jim
Johnson. The motion passed.
Executive director Lacee Hoelting recognized the
hard work of the AMA volunteers and led the group
in a round of applause for their efforts. In particular,
she mentioned Alton Brazell’s hard work in the
*denotes new board
member
blacksmith shop and antique tool room and the
restoration on the Moline Universal tractor by
Red Rivers, Doyle McFerrin and Bob Graham.
Hoelting then recognized the generous
donations of the Garrison Family Foundation in
funding the museum’s recent landscaping project.
The plan includes planting native grasses on the
east and north sides of the building and along
the road, adding irrigation to the east side of the
building, and installing three dry rock river beds
with decorative low-water plants. This project has
greatly enhanced the exterior of our new building.
Dan Taylor told members about the progress
made on the Cotton Ginning Exhibit that will
trace cotton ginning from crude hand crank gins
to a modern gin stand provided by Lummus
Industries. This exhibit is now complete.
Steve Moffett announced the details of “A
Night for the Museum” fundraiser featuring
farm comedian Jerry Carroll on September 25 at
the Civic Center. This is a great opportunity for
businesses and members to support the museum
with a fun-filled evening of laughter, good food
and entertainment. Moffett played a 30-second
commercial currently being run by Fox-34 and
Ag Day Lubbock, the media sponsor. Moffett
also thanked Hurst Farm Supply who has agreed
to be the event’s first title sponsor. Tickets and
sponsorships were available for purchase at the
meeting.
Following the lunch, AMA members and
guests were encouraged to tour the museum and
all of the new exhibits. AMA would like to thank
Ag Texas for supplying water and Stanley Young,
Kevin Coffman and Waylon Carroll for preparing
the meal, which was delicious as always.

AMA Board Member - Steve Moffett
Lubbock Electric Company General Manager
Although
I was born
and raised in
Snyder, I’m not
your typical ag
museum board
member who
grew up on
the farm. My
parents were
schoolteachers
and the only
jobs I had growing up were in the oil
patch.
Shortly after graduating from
Texas Tech, I married my wife, Patsy,
who happened to be the daughter of
Paul Bush, the founder of Lubbock
Electric Co. Now, Mr. Bush was
astute enough to see that his
daughter wasn’t going to be kept up
in the style that she was accustomed,
unless he intervened and gave me
a job. That was 39 years ago in
August, and I’m pleased to say that
I’m almost out of the ‘probationary’
period and can probably expect to
get on steady soon (the marriage has
lasted 39 years as well---ditto on the
probationary period there as well).
We have two grown children – a
son age 33 and a daughter age 31
(we wanted more, but Patsy read
where every third child born was
either Chinese or Indian).
As many of you know, Lubbock
Electric’s (LECO’s) primary
customer base consists of area cotton
gins. While I don’t know a lot about
farming, it didn’t take very long to
realize that the money that flows into
the Lubbock economy comes mainly
from agriculture. And when our
farmers make money, they become
very good consumers and share the
wealth (some of it even trickles down
to local electric companies).
When I realized that, I knew that
I wanted to be more involved in
the support of agriculture and the
American Museum of Agriculture
promotion of Lubbock’s agriculture
infrastructure.
About five years ago, LECO
joined the museum at the
Homesteader level, but we have been
able to expand our role by doing
“in-kind” electrical work and making
a monthly pledge to the operating
fund. We participated because we felt
it was the right thing to do, however,
the appreciation we have received
from the agriculture community has
been overwhelming.
In the past few years our
irrigation business has expanded
to the point that the farming
community has become a significant
part of our customer base. Whether
farmers or ginners, our customers are
the finest people in the world and
they’ve become great friends as well.
The money and energy that we have
spent has been rewarded many times
over.
I’ve just been on the board a
couple of years now, but I’m very
pleased to be a part of it. Each time
we have a decision to make, there is
usually a trade-off between doing it
the best way or some scaled-down,
less expensive alternative. Invariably,
the board always votes to do it the
right way---then someone goes out
and finds the funds.
If you have not been out to
see the new facility, prepare to be
overwhelmed. It seems that each
time I come, something new and
different has been added. Also, we
hope to be able to start construction
on Phase Two this fall, and none of
it would have been possible without
the great support of our membership
and the selfless service of our
volunteers. Thanks for the support--you’ll be glad to know I can now
recognize the tractors. Next I’m
studying up on harvest equipment!
Sincerely,
Steve Moffett

A big thank you to our Celebrity Judges:
Lubbock Mayor Glen Robertson
Evan Onstot - KLBK News Anchor
Tony St. James - All Ag All Day
On-Air Personality
With nearly 20 ice cream entries and
over 80 people in attendance, this year’s
ice cream social set a new record.
This is yet another example of how
beneficial AMA’s new facility is.
Good old fashion socializing was the
focus of the event, and Lacee Hoelting
announced the September fundraiser
featuring farm comedian Jerry Carroll.
The evening ended with Jim and
Elaine Johnson winning the top prize
for best ice cream, banana.
Newly elected Mayor Glen
Robertson, said, “So far this has been
the most fun thing I’ve done as mayor.”
Left to right: Tony St. James considers each entry carefully, the Forget-Me-Nots pose for a quick pic, Ice Cream Social is
fun for all ages which is obvious by the smile on Jett Irlbeck’s face, Mayor Robertson & Evan Onstot sample every flavor.
“If you have much, give of your wealth; if you have little, give of
your heart.”

Quanah Parker Trail Comes to AMA
Visitors to AMA may notice a new
addition to our outdoor exhibits, a
25-feet tall Comanche arrow.
This unique sculpture, crafted and
donated by Charles Smith of New
Home, Texas, serves as a physical
marker to represent the connection
between Lubbock County and the
Quanah Parker Trail.
The battle of Yellow House
Canyon, which occurred on
March 18, 1877, near the
site of present day Lubbock,
ended a brief Indian uprising
known as the Staked Plains
(Hunters’) War. It was also the
last fight with hostile Indians
on the High Plains of Texas.
The Quanah Parker Trail is
an initiatve of the Texas Plains
Trails Region, a 52-county heritage tourism
development program.
Our region is remarkable for the fact
that it formed “The Last Frontier” in the 48
contiguous states where Native Americans last
American Museum of Agriculture
roamed free before being moved to
reservations.
The trail honors landmarks,
sites, events, and artifacts that
link our region to the story of the
Native Americans who last roamed
the Texas panhandle plains.
It is named after Quanah
Parker to honor his role as the
chief of the Comanches,
who were the most powerful
Native American presence in
the region. Quanah Parker
is considered by many
historians to rank among
the many outstanding native
sons of Texas.
AMA thanks Holle
Humphries, Randy Vance
and Henry Crawford for
their assistance with the installation. This
arrow has the unique quality of being
the first to be installed using strictly
manpower.

AMA Hosts A Night for the Museum
featuring comedian Jerry Carroll
On September 25, the American Museum
of Agriculture held its second large-scale
fundraising dinner at the Lubbock Memorial
Civic Center.
Having a title sponsor for the first time,
along with 10 event sponsors and 53 table
sponsorships, A Night for the Museum raised
just under $75,000.
Hurst Farm Supply and Ag Day Lubbock
were recognized throughout the evening for
their generosity that helped make the event
possible.
Upon arrival, guests could check out the
silent auction with items ranging from sprayers
and gift certificates to shade trees and home
decor. Of the 18 items, the one-of-kind farm
themed quilt, made by LaVerne Stolle, was the
high seller at $900. The auction raised $4,495.
Following the smoked sirloin dinner,
attendees were the first to see AMA’s new
video, Growing a Legacy, the story of
Agriculture.
This new video produced by Lacee Hoelting
and directed by Tim Morrow and Ramar
Communications, will be shown to visitors
when they come to AMA. It tells the story of
agriculture in our area and introduces people
to the museum.
American Museum of Agriculture
Steve Moffett, the evening’s Master of
Ceremonies, warmed the crowd up with a
few jokes and gave them a progress report on
the museum. Moffett then introduced the
evening’s entertainment, Jerry Carroll.
Jerry kept the crowd laughing with stories
from the farm including equipment mishaps,
border collie tales, and memories of tobaccochewing grannies.
At the end of the evening, 10 people
with programs autographed by Jerry Carroll
received door prizes and board members
collected pledge cards.
Everyone who completed a pledge card
was entered in a drawing for a $250 gift card
donated by City Bank. Eugene Bednarz was
the winner.
AMA thanks the Board of Directors, the
fundraising committee, and our event cochairs, Steve Moffett and Clint Robinson for
all of their hard work.
A huge thank you to your title, media,
event, and table sponsors who were the real
story behind the evening’s success.
