Agriscience Research Integrated Systems
Kayleigh Warner of the DeKalb Central FFA Chapter in Waterloo, Indiana, has conducted research to determine the safety of foundry sand mixed with moderately clayey soil. Her work also allowed her to decide whether foundry sand could be used as a compost material. Warner was inspired to conduct this research due to debate in her community concerning potential harms of foundry sand. She is supported by her parents Pamela and Rodney and her FFA advisors Matthew Dice and Khara Kimmel.
