1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 1: What did it get your take here? I thought this

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: was pretty eye opening. A Kentucky family rejected a twenty

3
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: six million dollar offer to turn their farmland into a

4
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: data center. We've heard about these data centers, right Ethan.

5
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean they were one of the biggest issues

6
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 2: in central Indiana right now, well really all over our state.

7
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: And then bringing water into for the cooling the servers.

8
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 2: And increased utility prices, gobbling up farmlands, private law property.

9
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 1: Well, it's going on in Kentucky as well. And this

10
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: family rejected twenty six million dollars, which is I think

11
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 1: you'll hear in this report. You're going to hear in

12
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:52,599
Speaker 1: this report ten times the area is going rate in

13
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: terms of square footage. Go ahead, Alison, it's my way.

14
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 3: I'll stay in hold and feed a nation. Twenty six

15
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 3: million mean anything.

16
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 4: Some people might find it hard to understand how Delsia

17
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 4: Bear can turn away at twenty six million dollar offer

18
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 4: to buy some of her land until you spend a

19
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 4: little time with her walking the dirt road she grew

20
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 4: up on and in the house her daddy built.

21
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 3: My grandfather and great grandfather and a whole bunch of

22
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 3: family has all lived here for years, paid taxes on it,

23
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 3: fed a nation off of it, even raised wheat through

24
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 3: the depression and kept the breadlines up in the United

25
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 3: States of America when people didn't have anything else.

26
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 5: They call us whole stupid farmers, you know, but we're not.

27
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 5: We know whenever our food is disappearing, our lands are disappearing,

28
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 5: and we don't have any water and poison. We know

29
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 5: we've had it.

30
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: Man, the data center, whoever, Google, Amazon, whatever, wanted that

31
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:54,559
Speaker 1: land bad, offering her ten times what that farmland was worth.

32
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: And think about how much money that means the data

33
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 2: centers are making in order for them to think that

34
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 2: it would be profitable to offer that amount of money

35
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: to buy the land to put the data center on.

36
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 2: Tells you how much money that's making for these mega corporations.

37
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 2: But my take on this is not all heroes wear capes.

38
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 2: And I'm very thankful for this woman. She is making

39
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 2: the right decision here. And it's not always about the money.

40
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's about principle, and we need more principle in

41
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 2: this country. Twenty six million dollars, yeah, twenty six million.

42
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 2: I mean, if you watched it all the time, for

43
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: people to buy my property really I've inundated, inundated Nigel

44
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 2: with calls.

45
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: What do they want to do? Is they like the

46
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: gentrification type stuff?

47
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 2: Probably? I never really entertained it. It's always one of

48
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 2: the I'll give you an offul that you can't refuse,

49
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: and I refuse it every time. I'm not interested in

50
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 2: selling the property because I'm building my equity. I'm building

51
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 2: my retirement plan. Mega corporations can suck it. You're not

52
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 2: getting my land. You're not getting off for twenty six

53
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 2: million dollars.

54
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: No, no, no, But I like her antiques for twenty

55
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: six million. Now, I mean, and you watched this report.

56
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: I saw the video. I mean the house that she's

57
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: living in is dilapidated. Now, the farmland is vast, she's

58
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: got cows, as she said, her family fed the nation

59
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: at one point, which there's a legacy there. I get it.

60
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 2: But I mean, what you call dilapidated, I call vintage.

61
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: Fair enough, fair enough, my friend? Okay, did I offend you? Okay,

62
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: it's a Hambard Nigel show
