Texas, eh? Well, you could have any one of the following: sawmill paper mill steel mill (yep, just like Lone Star Steel) cotton gin vinegar works (Speas Vinegar in Paris, TX) grain elevators soup (Campbell Soup in Paris) bread (Sara Lee in Paris) stockyards (most places in central Texas, west Texas and the Panhandle) oil refinery (down Houstin way) petrochemical plants (ditto) concrete plant (using inbound crushed stone) lignite (Texas Utilities mine-to-power plant) flour (ConAgra Mill in Sherman- wheat in, flour and wheat midds out) peanut brokers (outbound peanuts, such as in Honey Grove) The possibilities are vast- as mentioned before, you could pick one section of Texas and come up with quite enough to keep your local crews busy.
