SAE Projects

Our advisors encourage students to keep and maintain a Supervised Agriculture Experience Project (SAE) while being enrolled in an Agriculture Course. The project may include: raising large/small livestock animals, taking care of plants, volunteering at a Agriculture related business, or participating in the guide-dog training program. While maintaining a project, each student will be require to keep a record book for their daily activites, finances, hours spent with their project, enterprise agreements and FFA events they have attended. These will help each student develop time management skills, responsibility, patience and the ability to work as a team.
