Revitalizing Rural Texas: Bigger Than a Map Dot
The Inspiring Story of Cooper, Texas
Texas Farm Credit is excited to announce the launch of a groundbreaking short film, Bigger Than a Map Dot, a cinematic journey that celebrates the resilience, vision, and heart of rural Texas. Premiering today, this short film showcases the story of Paul and Jennifer Dwyer, whose partnership with Texas Farm Credit turned a personal dream into a catalyst for their community’s revitalization.
Unlike traditional customer testimonials, Bigger Than a Map Dot goes beyond business to shine a spotlight on Delta County’s Cooper, Texas – a town that might seem like just another dot on the map but is brimming with limitless potential. Through stunning visuals and heartfelt storytelling, the film captures how the Dwyers transformed their ranch and the town they love, inspiring a wave of growth and renewal in the process.
“At Texas Farm Credit, we believe our mission goes far beyond lending – it’s about empowering the people and communities who shape the rural Texas way of life,” said Kacy Land, VP of Marketing and Communications at Texas Farm Credit. “This film isn’t just about financing dreams; it’s about fostering hope, inspiring change, and proving that big things can happen in the smallest of places.”
From restoring historic buildings to encouraging others to invest in Cooper, the Dwyers’ journey is a testament to the power of vision, determination, and meaningful partnerships. Their story represents the core values of Texas Farm Credit: a commitment to community, agriculture, and the enduring spirit of rural life.
