Ms. Reed-Boniface has been an outstanding volunteer educator and supporter of MAITC for thirty years!   We know that Juanita is a VERY deserving recipient of the National Ag in the Classroom Ag Advocate Award.  

When asked when she began her involvement with agricultural literacy education Juanita answered:  I guess I've always advocated for agriculture and learning all my life.  I have themes that I wrote in grade school about living in the Nebraska Sandhills and living on a farm. My high school original oratory was title "The Heritage We Hold" which focused on agriculture and particularly the land. 

MAITC Program Director Al Withers states "I have witnessed Juanita as a gracious professional when advocating for increased agricultural literacy. We greatly value her contributions to agriculture and education."
