Supervised Agriculture Education (or S.A.E.) projects are hands-on, agriculture-oriented, student-driven projects that are an integral part of the agriscience classes, the state-wide agriculture education program and the entire FFA experience. These projects give students experience in business record keeping, time management, marketing, practical application of specialized knowledge and development of employable skills.

Grading Reference Links | Types of S.A.E. Projects Students can choose to do one or more projects each year and they can fall under these general categories: Agriscience Fair Projects: Students can study a certain area of scientific interest, perform experiments, gather data and enter their projects in local, regional, state and national competitions. Students can perform their projects on campus or at home,must be willing to work on their own over a time period and to document their study thoroughly.

These projects can occur within a specific term or be ongoing and can be completed at home or on the school farm facility. *Check out these links to a few on-farm, ownership projects: Job Placement Projects: While not a direct internship placement program, students can work in the agriculture industries, gain valuable skills and get paid (or not); working for someone else is what this type of SAE is about.
