Joseph Eloi Broussard
Joseph Eloi Broussard (1866-1956) was a pioneer rice grower and miller in Texas. He was born and grew up near Beaumont, Texas. In 1892 he converted a grist mill into the Beaumont Rice Mill, the first commercial rice mill in the state of Texas. He also established the Lower Neches Valley Authority to create an irrigation system to support rice agriculture.
As a result of his work, the cultivation of rice expanded from 1500 acres in 1892 to 400,000 acres in 23 counties by the time of Broussard's death. His own family landholdings resulted in rice being cultivated on some 10,000 acres in the local area.
As the mill processed rice, it helped rice become an important commodity crop of the early residents of Beaumont. Broussard also raised cattle on his property, and harvesting lumber was important in the region.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = The Handbook of Texas Online )〕
