Supervised agricultural experience

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A supervised agriculture experience, or SAE, is required before obtaining a Chapter FFA Degree for the National FFA Organization. An SAE can be anything from raising livestock at your school farm, or a plant project. According to the 13th addition of The Official FFA Student Handbook, there are eight types of SAE projects. They include: entrepreneurship, placement, agriscience research, agricultural service learning, exploratory, improvement, supplemental and directed school laboratory. SAE projects are often exhibited at county and state fairs, whether it is showing livestock or displaying a project. An SAE is one of the three components of Agricultural Education, the other two being FFA and classroom instruction.
