Texas was the bread basket of the US for a long time.
Step-by-step explanation:
Before the dust bowl time, Texas was one of the most fertile regions of the country and had a vibrant farming industry and culture.
The industry was first involved with commercial cash crops but then it later also moved on to grain and maize.
The area had been good for farming for quite a long time and with the appearance of the modern equipment it became much better to farm than most other places in the nation.
Subsequently, it got more profits in the industry.
