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.

Volume 13, Issue 2 – December 2014 Deluxe Edition
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.

A Word from the Staff
My first month at the Bayer Museum of Agriculture has been great. I have gotten to meet most of the volunteers, and look forward to meeting all of you very soon. My first real museum experience
was at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London when I completed a short observation internship for my Clothing and Textile Merchandising degree at Texas Tech. My first position after graduating from Tech was in retail buying and management. I have also held a church education staff position, as well as working as an interventionist in Frenship ISD and Lubbock ISD. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree from Texas Tech and a Master’s of Education from Lubbock

While living in Beaumont, Texas, I served as Curator of Education for the John Jay French Historic House Museum. After moving back to Lubbock I took a position as Director of Marketing and Education for the American Wind Power Center. My heart is truly in museum work. History is one of my passions. Working at the museum I have the satisfaction of being able to learn something new every day. I find volunteers to have a wealth of knowledge. If I have not met you, please introduce yourself.

Experience the Cotton Harvest
Almost every child that comes in the museum asks if they can ride a tractor, and with the museum’s newest exhibit, museum staff can finally say yes. The Cotton Harvest Experience puts the visitor in the driver seat of a John Deere CS690 Cotton Stripper and Module Builder. Once the start button is pressed, large projection screens around the cab combined with big bass speakers underneath, allow the visitor to see, feel, and experience bringing in the harvest. This immersive ride is accompanied by an animated history of the John Deere Cotton stripper from the early Model 30 and 31 to the latest technology all in three minutes. While you wait your turn to ride, a television on the outside monitor plays a stunning video detailing the cotton industry from planting the cotton in the
field to making it into a fabric used and worn around the world. This exhibit would not have been possible without the tireless efforts of Joe Hurst and Hurst Farm Supply who worked with John Deere
to secure the cab and funding for the exhibit. Additional funds came from the C.H. Foundation and the family of Viola and D.W. Gaignet. D.W. Gaignet was a very successful John Deere dealer in Tahoka in the 1930s and 40s. Additionally, a big thank
you goes to Eddie and Eric Smith who allowed us to shoot footage at their Floydada farm twice for the exhibit. Since opening, The Cotton Harvest Experience has been extremely popular with children and adults alike. Museum staff hopes
interactive exhibits of this level will help to bring in
more school tours and allow us to educate on agriculture’s past, present, and future.

New Major Crops Exhibit
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.
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 re-elected 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.

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.

The Texas Country Reporter Sells Out Fundraiser He did it again! The Texas Coutry Reporter Bob Phillips sold out the Civic Center Ballroom. Over 700 people attended the Night for the Museum fundraiser, held on September 23. This event started in 2010 with the Texas Country Reporter and has continued to support the museum’s operations and programming for the past 4 years. Clint Robinson with Capital Farm Credit was instrumental in getting the popular television personality back to the South Plains. Samuel Jackson generously agreed to be 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 introduced special guests in attendance. They 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 of the museum volunteers then premiered an updated promotional video: Bayer Museum of

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.

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.
1940 Ford PickupWritten 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.
