Farm Owner had Terse 6-word Response after Being offered $26M to Build Data Centers
An steadfast “country hick” farmer offered a terse six-word response to an AI company hoping to build a data center on her Kentucky property in exchange for millions of dollars — “Kick rocks and don’t come back.”
Delsia Bare and her mother Ida Huddleston initially agreed to sell their plots in Maysville for a combined total of $26.4 million when approached by representatives of an unknown AI company, the Wall Street Journal reported.
But when the mother-daughter duo, a couple of self-described “country hicks,” learned that the company planned to build data centers on the land to power artificial intelligence bots, they swiftly backed out.
“Kick rocks and don’t come back,” Bare told the reps after she and her mom successfully canned the deal, according to the Journal.
Bare said she’d decided to back out of the deal fearing she’d be “held accountable” by higher powers for selling the family farm just to have it replaced by an AI hub. (Read more from “Farm Owner had Terse 6-word Response after Being offered $26M to Build Data Centers” HERE)
