What is SAE?
SAE stands for Supervised Agricultural Experience. In an FFA member's SAE program, they take their knowledge from the classroom and apply it to a real world situation or learning experience.
Every member of the OABCIG FFA Chapter is required to obtain and maintain an SAE program throughout their time in our program.
Below are examples of our members projects. Projects cover a large variety of topics such as Entrepreneurship - Animal Production, Entrepreneurship - Lawn Care, Placement - Grain Crops, Placement - Supply Stores, Placement - Turfgrass Management/ Landscaping, and many more areas that are covered.
