It's not completely worthless. But to reap the profits from the plantation, the province (as any other) needs acess to the sea. If you look closely, the road from NM leads to... Texas! So once you wipe out the Pueblo, NM makes some profit.

Same goes for the Plains province, the road leads to Michigan or one of the Louisianas iirc
