Today, the AWESOME is from Maysville, Kentucky. Ida Huddleston and her daughter, Delsia, were offered a staggering $26M to convert part of their 1,200-acre farm into a data center. For them, the land represents a living legacy, having sustained their family for generations, including during the Great Depression. Huddleston, 82, remains deeply connected to the farm where she was born and intends to. Their choice to say no to that life-changing amount of money underscores their commitment to stewardship over profit, honoring their family’s land and the role it played in feeding others and preserving their agricultural heritage.
