Why cable sits here 02
The Bastrop industrial base
Bastrop lost its International Paper mill, with the last mill closing in 2008. What remains is real but different: Drax's Morehouse BioEnergy wood pellet plant, two DG Foods poultry processing plants on Airport Road, Kennedy Rice Mill and a handful of smaller manufacturers.
Cable material reflects that: tray and control cable for pellet mills and conveyors, washdown-rated wiring and cord for poultry processing, VFD cable for fans and drives, and grounding conductor for silos and process buildings.
Wood pellets
Drax's Morehouse BioEnergy plant in Bastrop began operating in 2015 and ships pellets out through Baton Rouge.
Poultry processing
DG Foods operates two poultry processing plants on Airport Road in Bastrop, which use washdown-rated wiring and portable cord.
Rice milling
Kennedy Rice Mill and other smaller manufacturers operate in Morehouse Parish alongside the pellet and poultry plants.

Questions —
Bastrop wire buying questions
Is there still a paper mill in Bastrop?
No. The last International Paper mill closed in 2008, and the site is marketed for redevelopment. Any page claiming an operating paper mill there would be wrong.
What cable comes from a pellet plant?
Tray and control cable for hammermills, dryers and conveyors, plus drive cable for fans and grounding conductor for silos.
Do poultry plants sell cable?
They generate surplus when lines are rebuilt, and the material is washdown-rated. Access follows the plant's food-safety rules.
Is Bastrop worth a dedicated trip?
Usually only with a confirmed lot. It is not on an interstate, and a speculative run from Monroe is a poor use of a day.
