The University of Kentucky Department of Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering’s booth at the National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville focused on the impacts of the December 2021 tornadoes. The retrospective was designed to show what happened and the ongoing recovery efforts. The goal of this project was to make sure the response and resilience of the affected communities remained visible during what will be a long rebuilding effort.
