Description: On December 10-11, 2021, a strong storm moved across the
state of Kentucky and spawned several tornadoes which spanned a distance
of over 165 miles. The United States Department of Agriculture's National
Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) responded to inquiries regarding
the extent of cropland potentially affected by the Kentucky tornadoes in
mid-December 2021. Tornado track location data was provided by the
National Weather Service (NWS). Land cover information was derived from
the NASS 2021 Cropland Data Layer which was released in February 2022.
Analysis was conducted in March 2022.
