When J. Lindsay Nunn started his dairy with a mere seventy cows in 1934, he couldn’t have envisioned that nearly seven decades later Plains Dairy would be selling 110,000 gallons of milk a day to customers over 500 miles away. Yet, as the city’s sole operating dairy, the friendly operation remains an Amarillo icon that generates a warm, down-home feeling from a company that has annual sales that top $60 million.
Dub Garlington is President of Plains Dairy now part of Affiliated Foods. Joe Holland is Sales Manager and Michael Holliman is Marketing Manager with the company. The three oversee operations which include not only milk and other dairy sales, but also juice, drinks and bottled water across much of West Texas and nearly all of New Mexico, and even parts of Oklahoma, Colorado, Kansas and Arizona.
Outstanding service to customers, a Plains trademark, was on Nunn’s mind when he took over the dairy he had originally financed for another party. He quickly added a top manager, A.F. Madison (a former Amarillo mayor), and turned the dairy into a multimillion-dollar business. The dairy was sold to National Dairy in 1955 and operated under the name Sealtest, a division of Kraft Foods. L.B. Parker purchased the dairy in 1965 and brought back the familiar Plains Creamery name. Affiliated became owner in 1996 and adopted the name Plains Dairy.
