Delsia Bare and her mother, Ida Huddleston, a Kentucky farming family, rejected a substantial $26.4 million offer for their 200-year-old family farmland. The initial agreement was to sell the property, but their stance changed upon discovering the land's intended use: to house data centers powering artificial intelligence.
Their definitive six-word response, "Kick rocks and don't come back," conveyed their refusal. Bare cited fears of being held accountable for the data centers if the deal proceeded. The incident highlights growing scrutiny faced by data centers across the United States, with Kentucky alone having 56 of nearly 5,000 nationwide.
