Flat Andy Ag joined up with Idaho Ag In The Classroom during the summer of 2007 to help the students of Idaho learn and experience more of agriculture throughout the state.  Andy has been traveling to farms and ranches throughout Idaho (as well as other states), and always returns to the students of his classroom with photos and stories about everything he experienced.

 

Your class can join AITC in sending Flat Andy to visit agriculture around Idaho.  We can provide you with a sturdy, glossy 8.5 x 11 version of Flat Andy Ag for you and your classroom.  Or, a pdf version is available below for you to print.  We also have a journal (pdf below) available for your students to use with Flat Andy and to log his travels.

 

Below, you'll find a listing of Idaho farmers and ranchers who would welcome you and your class to send Flat Andy to them.  They will take photos of Andy and help journal his trip for your students.  Check out the diary below of Flat Andy's visit to Blair Farms in Kendrick, Idaho.
