"They call us old stupid farmers, you know, but we're not," Huddleston said of the corporate suitors during an interview with WKRC. Her resistance stems from acute concerns over what mega-scale data centers consume and leave behind. As Huddleston pointed out, surrendering fertile land and water for industrial technology carries environmental trade-offs that no amount of money can reverse. Despite the Huddleston family's firm stand, land acquisition agents successfully targeted several neighboring property owners who agreed to sell their parcels. So even though the Huddleston farm remains intact, the data center complex will inevitably rise just beyond their fence line.
