In our area, peaches and pecans are harvested, in addition to cotton. Our really hot summers make it difficult for us to grow many crops in the later summer months, but our mild winters and early spring allow us to grow crops of grains for feeding to cattle. We are definitely a farming area, and many of our locals raise livestock. Beef is a major industry in our state. Lots of our roaming land has turned into land for housing developments, but there are still lots of open areas outside of town.
We are very close to Austin, which has a thriving film industry. It's not uncommon for small documentaries to be filmed here, and some popular movies have been filmed here, too. The most famous one is Michael filmed in 1996. It starred John Travolta. None of the students were in it... it was long before they were even born!!
We are celebrating Spring Break this week. It's a little rainy and cool, but it's still nice to be out of school!
