Methinks you've not seen much of Texas. Piney woods, hill country, the gulf coast, the list goes on. Just google a pic of caddo lake for one example of an extreme definitely non-desert environment. Also, i've not seen much corn nor cotton here, just an observation. So far as business goes, it should stop surprising people already, large companies which relocate from NY and CA are the norm here, have been for the two decades I've resided in Texas.

Hush! Don't tell them! Every time a post like yours goes out another company relocates to Texas.

Please emphasize the Great Texas Desert, the skyrocketing cost of hay (for feeding your horse, of course), and the dangers of rattlesnakes, wild indians, and 200-pound snapping turtles (in the few places in Texas where there is water).

Gotta go clean the horseshit off my driveway now. Later, Dude!

P.S. Texas does produce a lot of cotton and is an important state agriculturally. But it isn't particularly telling in comparison: CA produces lots of fruits!

If you've not seen much corn or cotton then I'm pretty sure I've seen much more of Texas than you have.
