Agricultural-related recovery efforts are underway in Kentucky after devastating tornadoes hit the state Dec. 10-11.

“Our hearts go out everyone affected by this tragedy,” Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring said. “Lives were lost, entire towns were destroyed and the agriculture community was hit hard.”

According to news reports, grain bins were leveled, livestock and poultry barns were demolished and there was significant damage to the agricultural infrastructure.

“The agriculture community always comes together to help each other in times of need,” Goehring said. “If you want to help impacted Kentucky farmers and ranchers, there are several ways to do so.”

Video: Farm Health Guardian | Digital Biosecurity in Real Time

Disease risk, biosecurity, and real-time monitoring continue to be major topics across the pork industry. In this episode of Swine Web Industry Perspectives, presented by Farm Health Guardian, we discuss how digital biosecurity and real-time data are changing the way producers think about herd protection, people movement, and operational decision-making.

The conversation explores:

disease risk in modern pork production,

the impact of people movement on biosecurity,

the importance of real-time monitoring,

digital biosecurity technology,

and how Farm Health Guardian developed tools designed to support modern swine operations.

As the industry continues focusing on prevention, preparedness, and operational efficiency, connected technologies and actionable data are becoming increasingly important parts of modern herd health management.
