"There's a guy in Unicoi County that probably had half a million in equipment — tractors and hay harvesting and high-rolling equipment — just totally destroyed by the flood, and a barn that had a thousand rolls of hay just totally wiped away," Tennessee Farm Bureau Federation Field Services Director Steven Huff told Fox News Digital. "And it was hay that he was going to feed his cattle through the winter."
