Ownership

Students conducting an OWNERSHIP SAE operate an individual business which provides goods and/or services to the marketplace. The operational and risk management decisions on how goods and/or services are provided are made by the student owner. Some facilities, input resources and equipment necessary for the SAE operation can be provided from outside individuals without expectations of compensation coming from the student or SAE. The operation must be of sufficient scope to enable development of student skills and abilities aligned to the AFNR Technical Standards and Career Ready Practices

Entrepreneurship

A student transitions to an ENTREPRENEURSHIP SAE at the point the Ownership SAE is enhanced to contain or meet additional criteria. It incorporates all aspects of an Ownership SAE and requires the student to identify and account for, either financially or non-financially, all resources used in the business. The Entrepreneurship SAE includes a Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) Business Plan which provides for the continued growth and expansion of the operation.
