October 13, 2014, was a celebration of
progress. Over 200 people came to help the
Bayer Museum of Agriculture cut the ribbon
and officially open the new Central Exhibit
Hall to the public. Mayor Glen Robertson
spoke about the impact of the museum on the
Lubbock community. Texas Tech President
Duane Nellis remarked how much he enjoyed
attending events in the new
facility and how agriculture
was the “lifeblood” of the
South Plains.
In addition to the building expansion, the
museum unveiled three new exhibits, all of
which focus on modern agriculture and invite
people to touch, see and experience.
The new Bayer CropScience Cotton
Technology shows visitors the science behind
modern cotton production. You can learn
how cotton farmers are improving water
efficiency and helping to conserve our natural
resources. Visitors can take a walk through
a virtual cotton field or talk to a hologram
farmer.
Bayer Museum of Agriculture
Next to the Cotton Technology exhibit
is a display on aerial application or more
commonly known as crop dusting. It’s not
often that a person can see an exhibit come
together, but this interactive kiosk allows
a person to watch our Ag Cat plane being
assembled and hung from the ceiling. There’s
even a short video telling the history of the
plane and how it came to be a part of the
museum collection.
The Central Exhibit Hall also features a
major crops exhibit and The Cotton Harvest
Experience, where each visitor
can take a turn in the driver’s
seat. You can learn more about
these exhibits, including who
made them possible on pages 2
and 3.
The event ended with a catered barbeque
meal as supporters, new and old, celebrated
the museum’s success. The Bayer Museum
of Agriculture would like to thank Bayer
CropScience for co-sponsoring the event and
the Lubbock Chamber of Commerce for
helping to promote it.

New Major Crops Exhibit
As the central exhibit hall began to
take shape in the fall of 2013, museum
staff and board knew they needed a
“Wow” exhibit to showcase in the new
space.
The board agreed the exhibt should
be highly interactive, unlike any other,
and focus on the major crops grown in
the United States.
With the help of Museum Arts, Inc.
in Dallas, Texas, the concept for the
Major Crops exhibit was born. With
16 screens and 8 separate computers,
touch screens based on smart phone
technology gives vistors a closer look at
corn, cotton, wheat, soybeans, sorghum,
peanuts, sunflowers and rice.
Drawers beneath each touch screen
show a labeled diagram of each plant
along with seed and plant samples.
The backside of the exhibit displays a
timeline of agriculture, complete with
informative flip panels and artifact
display cases.
An exhibit of this magnitude would
have been impossible if it weren’t for
three generous and dedicated sponsors,
Capital Farm Credit, BE Implement and
Dale and Cheryl Swinburn.
Thank you to those sponsors who are
helping the museum educate the public
on the importance of agriculture and the
American Farmer.
“When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for life,
for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living.
If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself.”
- Tecumseh, Shawnee Indian Chief
Museum Events Get an Upgrade
Museum annual events have gotten an
upgrade thanks to the recently completed
Plains Cotton Growers Conference Center.
On June 26, with the air conditioning
going and oldies playing on the new sound
system, nearly 100 people came to visit
and sample a variety of homemade ice
creams.
A new record was set with 17 ice cream
entries with unique flavors such
as “Kingsbury Krunch”, and banana nut.
If a prize for most unique ice cream freezer
had been awarded, it would have gone to
Jeff Oswalt and his antique 50-year-old
Acme ice cream freezer.
This year’s celebrity judges were local
meteorologists Nikki Dee Ray, John
Robison, and Matt Ernst. Nikki Dee Ray
even broadcasted her evening weather
report from the conference room. Guests
and judges alike enjoyed an old fashion
evening with modern conveniences.
Bayer Museum of Agriculture
On August 16, museum membership
also enjoyed the new conference room
as they met to hear the latest updates
and visit with old friends. A lunch of
grilled pork chops and sides was served to
approximately 180 guests.
Items on the agenda included seeing the
new Ag Cat mini-documentary produced
by Ramar Communications and electing
two new museum board members, Larry
Work and Troy Pickering. Dan Taylor,
Stanley Young, Lee Ruth Krieg, and
Mitchell Harris were also unanimously reelected to another term. The sound system
worked flawlessly as guests mingled and
viewed the newest exhibits and additions to
the facility.
Since it’s completion in April, the Plains
Cotton Growers Conference Center has
hosted over 70 events and brought over
20,000 people to the museum.

Then it was time for the main program.
Bob Phillips engaged the audience in
personal stories from the farm and stories
from several Texans making a living and a
life from agriculture. Clint presented Bob
Phillips with a plaque in appreciation for his
continued efforts in promoting the museum.
In addition to a one-of-a-kind program,
attendees bid in a silent auction with 22
items ranging from Texas Tech basketball
box seats to a custom Texas Tech belt buckle
all collected by Lee Ruth Krieg and Tina
Macha. The highest selling item was a
Ruidoso vacation purchased for $560.
This was also the first year the event
featured a shotgun raffle. Tickets were sold
for one month prior to the event. Randy
Hensley of O’Donnell won the Model 11-87
Sportsman Field rifle valued at $845.
Guests raved over the food with smoked
prime rib from Raider Red Meats and the
rest of the meal and dessert prepared by Jeana
Kauffman of Jeana’s Feedbag.
Additional thank you’s go to Leslie Kitten
and Savant Photography for taking Meet
and Greet photos and to the Pumpkin Pyle
in Floydada for donating pumpkins for
centerpieces.
As always,the biggest thank you goes out
to our title, program, media, event, and table

for the Museum fundraiser, held on September
23.
This event started in 2010 with the Texas

the title sponsor for the event. This is the
second year for their sponsorship contributing
$20,000 to the event.
Steve Moffett opened the evening and

included State Senator Charles Perry, Mayor
Glen Robertson, Commissioner Bill McKay
and wife Karen, Commissioner Patti Jones,
Councilman Jim Gerlt and Mary Whistler
with Congressman Randy Neugebauer’s office.
Other VIPs included Mrs. Alvena Pocock and
family. Her husband Nick Pocock researched
and wrote the Ag Cat book now available in
the museum general store.
Lacee Hoelting updated the crowd on
the museum’s progress. She talked about the
next step, a children’s agricultural literacy
wing and how she would need everyone’s
help to make it a reality. She recognized all

The South Plains Antique Tractor
Association hosted the 12th annual
tractor show over the weekend of
October 18, 19, and 20. Held on the
museum grounds, this year’s show
brought in over a thousand people, 93
antique tractors, 15 modern tractors,
four trucks, one car, and two hit
and miss motors. A 1915 Model T
Roadster previously owned by Gene
Autry was also on display, courtesy of
museum member Don Garnett.
Exhibitors and their families
were able to fellowship and kick off
the show at the Friday evening meal
sponsored by Lubbock Electric and
catered by River Smith’s.
In addition to the regular tractor
games, Saturday’s lineup included a
new women’s event called the Skillet
Toss. Nineteen ladies tried their hand
at launching an iron skillet. With
a throw of 53 feet and one inch, Lisa
Vaughn of Petersburg won the contest.
Lacee Hoelting and Bree Howard came in
second and third.
The family of Lonnie Stokes of Hale
Center won this year’s raffle tractor,
a 1944 Farmall H, and four trophies
were given out for Best of Show, Most
Engines, Most Tractors, and Traveling the
Greatest Distance. In addition to tractors
and engines, Carlton and Deloris Parks of
Talpa, Texas, set up a working blacksmith
shop for guests to enjoy.
Numerous sponsors and tractor
club members made this year the most
successful yet, and the proceeds will
benefit the Bayer Museum of Agriculture.
Last year’s donation purchased two new
murals for the Alton Brazell Hall. The
museum is extremely grateful for the
ongoing support of the tractor club.

1940 Ford Pickup
Written by Kirby Kennedy and Shorty Agnew
Ford Motor Company is a household name in the
United States. Henry Ford was an eager young man
who turned his small town factory into an empire
even in the face of the Great Depression. Ford’s
invention of the Model T not only made history
in the automobile industry, but began what is now
one of the most thriving automobile and equipment
companies in the world, with many noted models
along the way.
The 1940 Ford Pickup truck is no exception. The
truck now displayed in the museum’s central exhibit
hall is equipped with the original 231 flat head
engine. Shorty and Wanda Agnew donated the truck
in 2014. The Ford Motor Company produced 48,000
of this model, but the Agnew’s 1940 Ford is believed
to be the only original 1940 left on the South Plains.
Shorty purchased the truck in 1963, used it for
a few years and then stored it until 1998. In 2001,
Shorty began taking the truck to shows and over the
course of several years, the truck won approximately
75 trophies and plaques. Additionally, the truck was
used in four weddings, multiple parades, and was
showcased as a part of the 50th celebration for the
Smith/Ford Slaton showroom.
The Bayer Museum of Agriculture would like to
thank Shorty and Wanda for their generous donation
of this prized family possession and hopes the public
will enjoy the truck just as much as Shorty did in his
51 years of ownership.
In addition to becoming members, Shorty and Wanda come every
few weeks to check on the truck and keep it dusted.
