In recent years, the United States has witnessed a rapid expansion in the construction of artificial intelligence (AI) data centers, with a notable trend of relocating these facilities to rural areas in the Midwest. This development has raised significant concerns among farmers, ranchers, and industry groups, who argue that data center projects are encroaching upon vast expanses of farmland and intensifying competition for vital electricity and water resources, thereby posing a substantial threat to the nation's agricultural economy. The American Farm Bureau Federation reports that there are nearly 5,000 data centers either completed or currently under construction throughout the United States. These data centers demand extensive land areas and exhibit exceptionally high energy and water consumption rates, creating a substantial overlap with the resource requirements of agricultural activities. Some large-scale data centers consume electricity on par with mid-sized cities, resulting in the overloading of rural power grids. The president of the Illinois Farm Bureau highlighted that the construction of data centers is permanently removing high-quality farmland from agricultural production. Moreover, there is a looming risk that, should the AI market experience fluctuations, the resulting idle industrial sites may not be easily restored for farming purposes. Regarding water resources, the continuous water supply necessary for data center operations undermines irrigation systems for pastures and the availability of drinking water for livestock, potentially leading to a decrease in cattle populations. In response, residents across multiple states, including Montana, Illinois, and Michigan, have initiated protests, urging lawmakers to enact legislation that restricts the expansion of data centers onto agricultural lands. Currently, legislative bodies in approximately twenty states nationwide are considering the implementation of relevant restrictions.
