I think in silicon valley they haven't heard this one yet:

A farmer is lying on his deathbed. When asked if he has any last wishes, he dramatically raises his hand and utters his last words: "MORE LAND!"

It fits every farmer I know. And then #AI data-center #tech companies have the audacity to offer millions to buy farmland?

Didn鈥檛 end well for them ;)

Ars Technica

Data center builders thought farmers would willingly sell land, learn otherwise

Even in a fragile farm economy, million-dollar offers can't sway dedicated farmers.

@madeindex Or they could just drive down the margins for growing crops so that farmers have an incentive to sell.
