Kentucky farmers believe fuel, fertilizer and financial stress are taking a personal toll on agricultural operations across the state and nation. Farm bankruptcies reached a six-year high in April, according to data from Epiq AACER, as rising input costs continue to squeeze operations large and small. Kentucky farmers said they are feeling the pressure firsthand — and the weight goes beyond the bottom line. y’all won’t believe who was president 6 years ago As a fifth-generation cattle farmer and owner of 3T Cattle in Fayette County, David Tucker knows the rhythm of hay season well, but the financial math has grown harder to work out. "It can get nerve wracking some days, going over finances and trying to figure out how we're going to make everything work from year to year," Tucker said. Tucker said the latest headline about farm bankruptcies is no surprise. "Digging into the numbers a little bit, bankruptcies are up 46% year over year, 2024 to 2025, so we had a total of 315 bankruptcies in 2025, which is up. The Southeast and the Midwest were hit the hardest. The Southeast is up about 69%," Shepherd said. I absolutely love this for them
The Republican Party has felt like home to Rena Schroeder since her teenage years when she joined a high school club for conservative Latinos. She cast her first presidential vote for Ronald Reagan. And she’s lost friends over her ardent posts on social media, some touting her anti-abortion views. “I’ve always been committed,” said Schroeder, 62, of her allegiance to the GOP. That is, until she learned about a massive data center, part of OpenAI’s $500 billion Stargate project, going up south of her property. The project has been championed by her party’s standard-bearers, President Donald Trump and Gov. Greg Abbott. But the more Schroeder learned about data centers popping up across the state, the more she became convinced her party was corrupted by industry lobbyists, seemingly brushing off what she saw as an existential threat to rural Texans like her. So in late March, at a GOP precinct meeting in Falls County, Schroeder suggested they propose a data center ban at the upcoming state Republican convention, which sets the party’s priorities. “They started screaming and yelling, and you would have thought I started World War III,” Schroeder said. “They said, ‘We won’t accept that, Rena. You’re gonna have to revise it to regulations.’” She threw her hands up in the air and said, “The only thing that I’m gonna revise, right here, right now, is my commitment to the Republican Party. Goodbye.” According to a Texas Tribune analysis, at least 82 data centers, or nearly 60% of those that are either planned or under construction, are in state House districts that voted for President Donald Trump and elected a Republican state representative in 2024.
Has Texas solved their power grid issues and water supply issues? How will data centers affect these issues?
