Students enrolled in an agriculture class must have a Supervised Agricultural Experience. Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) is a student-led, instructor supervised, work-based learning experience that results in measurable outcomes within a predefined, agreed-upon set of Agricultural, Food and Natural Resources (AFNR) Technical Standards and Career Ready Practices aligned to a career plan of study. The students are to keep accurate records on their SAE’s through the online Agriculture Experience Tracker (AET). Projects range from plant care and/or production, landscape maintenance, livestock husbandry, metal fabrication, agriculture promotion, and much more. This project is worth 10% of a student's grade.
