US farmers are rejecting multimillion-dollar datacenter bids for their land: ‘I’m not for sale’ Families are navigating the tough choice between unimaginable riches and the identity that comes with land

Last month, a Pennsylvania farmer rejected $15M from data center developers to sell his farmland.

Another in Wisconsin turned down $80M.

America's farmers and others across the country are pushing back on Big Tech.

This is what integrity looks like.
