My ag branch layout is set in a different locale than yours, the Gulf Coast, but my main boxcar related customers are a co-op warehouse, an oil dealer, and a team track in each community. I also have wood rack cars picking up pulpwood at the team tracks and gondolas going to an off-layout gravel pit.
On a smaller layout I have at our other house, I have these plus a rice elevator and a small foundry. I also found out that up until this era, bulk rock salt was shipped in dedicated wood boxcars, the use of covered hoppers was just about to begin.
And don’t forget to have interchange tracks.
