In Andy’s view, the soil is for growing food and feeding the world, but is also held in reserve for her children, grandchildren, and literally forever because there is no practical way to replace the soil. Andy involves her students in the rural community where she resides, and they are made aware of the farming industry. She takes the students on field trips to study terraces, waterways, filter-strips, and no-till farming. Andy is an outstanding teacher (Andy teaches art) and ICEC is very pleased to recognize her with this award!
