SAE Projects

SAE, which stands for Supervised Agriculture Experience, is an agricultural experience that students are required to get throughout their freshman,  sophomore, junior, and senior years in the agriculture program.

Every SAE has a category those categories are:

Placement/Internship: In a placement SAE, you perform tasks determined by your employer which are necessary for the operation of the business. The internship SAE takes the placement SAE up a notch. Internships provide a more targeted experience that focuses on meeting your specific training goals. 

Ownership/Entrepreneurship: In an ownership SAE, you create, own and operate a business which provides goods and/or services to the marketplace. You can transition your ownership SAE to an entrepreneurship SAE when you identify and account for, either financially  non-financially, all resources used in the business.

Research--Experimental, Analysis or Invention: In a research SAE, you will investigate materials, processes and information to establish new knowledge or the validation of previous research. 

School-Based Enterprise: School-Based Enterprise SAEs are student-led business enterprises that provide goods or services. 

Service Learning SAE: A service learning SAE is where you, or you and a small team plan, conduct and evaluate a project designed to provide a service to the school, public entities, or the community. The project must provide benefit to an organization, group, or other individuals other than your FFA chapter.
