On December 10, 2021, an EF4 tornado, with wind speeds in excess of 190 miles per hour, ripped through 170 miles of Kentucky. All of Kentucky was in shock as day broke on December 11 and news outlets reported the devastation found in cities such as Mayfield. As damage was assessed, it became obvious to local Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) staff that in addition to impacts to homes and businesses, many Kentucky agriculture and woodland owners along the tornado’s path were severely impacted as well. Farmers found entire barns gone, poultry houses in ruins, livestock missing, and miles of fencing destroyed. Acres upon acres of woodlands and associated timber resources had been severely damaged as well.
