SAE

What is an SAE?

An SAE is a Supervised Agricultural Experience. SAEs may be in the Foundational, Research, Entrepreneurship, or Placement categories.

SAEs are the foundation of the FFA experience for members across the country. They are essential to being an FFA student and setting students up for success in school and post-education. Benefits of having an SAE include building career readiness, becoming ag literate, and having the opportunity to record your expertise.

There are many advantages students gain by participating in this FFA-required activity. Those advantages are individual to each student depending on what they choose for their SAE of the many options available. Regardless of what students choose, at the end of the experience, students will have: gained leadership and employment skills, participated in activities beneficial to their future, and become ready for the workforce. Additionally, students can have their hard work recognized at the chapter, state, and national levels as they progress in their FFA career.

I believe success comes down to one main factor: passion. Whether it’s animals or teaching, research or the outdoors, there are so many options to choose from. When we choose something we are passionate about, we’ll likely do it to the best of our ability. Creating and growing an SAE can be one of the most meaningful aspects of our agricultural education, so find something you love and you will make success happen!

Julie Amos

About her steer project, Julie says "I grew up around cattle, so I love showing market steers. It's by far the longest project animal journey, since I have them from birth, but there's something special about building a bond with an animal that weighs almost 10 times as much as me. Every year is different, and even though saying goodbye is hard, the love I share with my steer each year is something I wouldn't trade for the world."

Ila Sabin

About her project, Ila says "This year I think I've truly learned the saying 'Life is full of ups and downs.' Just as raising any animal, I started this year with three projects, and am now ending it with one. Even though the outcome of my other projects had not been what I was hoping for, I am so incredibly grateful for the experiences they have given me, for they have made me grow as a person."
