86-year-old Pennsylvania farmer Mervin Raudabaugh turned down $15 million from a data center developer to preserve his 261 acres in Mechanicsburg.
"It was my life," Raudabaugh told Fox 43 News. "I told [the data center company] no, I was not interested in destroying my farms. That was really the bottom line… I just didn't want to see these two farms destroyed."
