Jezebel | '$26 Million Doesn’t Mean a Thing’: Farmer (Hero?) Who Rejected Data Center Buyout by Claire Guinan

As small towns across the country are being swallowed up by AI data centers, these farmers in northern Kentucky are refusing to let their family’s land fall into the hands of these loser, virgin, money-hungry, AI big shots.

For the past year, an unnamed Fortune 100 AI company has been making offers to cattle farmers Ida Huddleston and her daughter, Delsia, to buy a portion of their 1,200-acre property for $26 million to develop a data center. The women have continuously rejected the offers, saying, “$26 million doesn’t mean a thing.” Agreed. Millions of dollars is one thing, but denying AI big shots the pleasure of thinking they can buy up our lives? That’s priceless.

“My grandfather and great-grandfather and a whole bunch of family have all lived here for years, paid taxes on it, fed a nation off of it,” she told Cincinnati’s Local 12. “Even raised wheat through the Depression and kept bread lines up in the United States of America when people didn’t have anything else.”


The family is one of dozens of landowners in the area being bought out of their farmland to make way for resource-hungry data centers. These companies are specifically targeting the Midwest for its cooler temperatures and proximity to the Great Lakes, a resource needed for cooling. Because who cares about our country’s natural wonders? Or our world’s diminishing water supply? However much water Trump needs to power his AI slop, he gets.

'$26 Million Doesn’t Mean a Thing’: Farmer (Hero?) Who Rejected Data Center Buyout

Giving up millions is one thing, but denying AI big shots the pleasure of thinking they can buy up our towns? Priceless.
