A fifth-generation family farm is being threatened by infrastructure for data centers. “My great-great-grandparents purchased this property November 5th, 1910, for $722.05.” “We’ve maintained the farm now for the last 116 years.” Now a proposed transmission line could run through the property as Virginia expands its electrical infrastructure to support data center growth. “When you’re dealing with individuals or corporations or entities that don’t hold anything sacred, my family history and property doesn’t really matter to them.” And his farm is far from alone. “Every year there seems to be another community fighting it, and for every community that fights it and wins, there’s 3 or 4 or 5 communities who lose.” Across rural America, farmers are being asked to give up farmland and resources to make way for massive data center expansion—putting their livelihoods at risk. Development shouldn’t come at the expense of the people and land responsible for producing our food. @FarmAid
