Bitcoin Mining Is Coming To Dickens County. Why The County Judge Thinks It's A Good Fit.
For someone looking for Dickens County, Texas on a map, there’s not a large city to point them to. The best guide for locating it is “due east of Lubbock.” Kevin Brendle is the Dickens County Judge.
“[It] sits on the western escarpment off the caprock. Gently rolling hills. We’ve got some rangelands, about 20,000 acres plus of cultivated ground, mostly cotton. But Dickens County is primarily cattle country,” Brendle said.
