Ida Huddleston and her family have owned a farm in Northern Kentucky for generations. They turned down a $26 million offer from a major AI company to sell part of their land for a data center. Huddleston expressed concerns about the impact of data centers on food, water, and land quality. She doubts the project would create jobs or economic growth, labeling it a scam. The AI company has since filed a zoning request to potentially build next to their property.
""They call us old stupid farmers, you know, but we're not. We know whenever our food is disappearing, our lands are disappearing, and we don't have any water - and that poison. Well, we know we've had it.""
""I doubt the data center would bring jobs or economic growth to Mason County. It's a scam.""
