In Kentucky, an AI company is offering $26 million to buy part of a local family’s farmland to build a data center.
This price is 10 times the local market price.
They didn't hesitate: "If it were up to me, I would stay, guard this land, and feed this country. $26 million is nothing."
"As long as I am on this land, as long as it continues to feed me and shelter me—nothing can destroy me."
Computing power is expanding at an alarming rate, and data centers are devouring farmland piece by piece. As AI requires more and more land, who will protect the last piece of land where food can grow?
