In March of 2025, local farmer and CEO of Agriland Farming Company, Inc., Jim Maxwell, seated, is set to be interviewed and filmed by director/producer Thomas McDonald, center, and cameraman Tristan Owen at the Madera County Museum for a documentary that was first seen Tuesday at the Board of Supervisors meeting.

Madera County will soon be featured nationwide on public television outlets showcasing why it’s simply the best place to live, work and play in Central California.

For nearly a year, County administration has been working with a company called Viewpoint with Dennis Quaid to tell its story. The documentary illustrates how Madera County boasts a thriving, close-knit community with majestic ag land, breathtaking landscape of rugged mountains and glistening lakes at its core.

A national commercial will also air first on Fox Business this month. The nearly five-minute documentary highlights tourism, industry, education, and a growing economy with agriculture at its foundation that will air across 170-plus stations nationwide for one year.
