“Prime number: Turned down $26m” Joan of Arc. King Leonidas and the 300 Spartans. History is filled with figures who stood steadfast against a more powerful adversary. Now, you can add Northern Kentucky farmowner Ida Huddleston and her daughter, Delsia Bare, to that list.

The pair rebuffed a $26 million offer from an anonymous Al company to buy part of their land for a proposed data center. According to WKRC, the company offered roughly 10x what land in the county is usually worth, but still, the farmers refused. " Bare "Stay and hold and feed a nation," Bare said, adding that her family raised wheat through the Great Depression and that "$26 million doesn't mean anything." The company has reportedly revised its plan and could still build its data center nearby. -AE

The American Spirit we were supposed to have, according to every cartoon ever.

Fuck yeah.
“Stay and Hold and Feed a nation.”
