WHAT is a SAE?
The actual, planned application of concepts and
principles learned in agricultural education.
SAEs can prepare you for an Agriculture related career
WHEN do SAEs take place?
They are conducted outside of class time
In the afternoons after school
In the evenings
On the weekends
During the summer and on holidays
WHY have a SAE?
The purpose is to help students
develop skills and abilities leading toward a career.
HOW do SAEs work?
Students are supervised by agriculture teachers in
cooperation with parents/guardians, employers and other adults who assist
them in the development and achievement of their CAREER
goals.
What is the value of an SAE?
The value of the supervised agricultural
experience as an integral instructional
component is reflected in the FFA goal –
“learning by doing.”
WHAT ARE SOME OTHER BENEFITS?
• Helps you earn money
• Teaches responsibility
• Improves decision making skills
• Provides the opportunity to win awards
and…possibly CASH!!
Types of SAEs
Exploratory Better for younger students to explore a
variety of subjects about agriculture
Types of SAEs
ResearchExperimentation and Analysis
Conducted to answer questions
Types of SAEs
Ownership/Entrepreneurship
Enables students to own and operate an
agriculture-related business
Types of SAEs
PlacementEnables students to work in a field of their choice under the supervision of
an employer
What are the broad categories of SAE
• Agribusiness Entrepreneurship• Agricultural Placement• Agricultural Production• Agricultural Research• Directed School Laboratory• Agricultural Communications• Agricultural Exploration• Improvement Projects
Agribusiness Entrepreneurship
• Ownership project
• Farm product or Service
• Non-farm product or service
Agricultural Placement (Cooperative Education)
• Employment either on-farm or off farm
• Work for wage or salary• After school or school
released time• Supervised and evaluated
by employer and teacher
Agricultural Production
• Ownership project
• Farm product
Agricultural Research• Projects designed to provide
opportunities for students to gain credit for a wide array of research activities, both on campus and off. – Scientific research– Crop tests, seed plots, livestock feeding
trials, etc– Library research– Review and synthesis of the literature on
an agricultural topic of interest
• The Agriscience Fair, which is used in some states, already offers recognition for these types of projects
Directed School Laboratory
• Not a new idea:– Land Labs– Aquaculture labs– Ag mechanics labs– Plant Science labs
• As a SAE, it would involve long-term, carefully recorded and analyzed projects tied directly to the student’s career or academic goals
Agricultural Communications
• A growing area in ag ed
• Rural-oriented publications
• Radio, TV
• Website
• Public relations portfolio
Agricultural Exploration • Out-of-class experiences
designed to provide career information to students
• May be conducted at any time, but best during middle school and early
high school levels• Provides students with a better
“feel” for the world of work and for specific occupations
Improvement Projects
• A series of related activities that may be ongoing for a period of time.
• Projects undertaken to:– increase the value of the home or business setting– improve the environmental conditions of the home
or business– improve farm or business practices

Some Examples of SAEs
Animal Systems• Beef Production• Dairy Production• Diversified Livestock Production• Equine Science• Poultry Production• Sheep Production• Small Animal Production & Care• Specialty Animal Production• Swine Production
Examples of SAEsEnvironmental Service/
Natural Resources Systems
• Aquaculture• Crawfish Production• Emerging Agricultural Technology• Environmental Service/Natural Resources• Forest Management and Products• Home and/or Community Development• Outdoor Recreation• Wildlife Production and Management
Examples of SAEsFood Products and Processing Systems
• Agricultural Processing• Food Science and Technology
Examples of SAEsPlant Systems
• Diversified Agricultural Production• Diversified Crop Production• Diversified Horticulture• Fiber and/or Oil Crop Production• Floriculture• Forage Production• Fruit Production• Grain Production• Landscape Management• Nursery Operations• Specialty Crop Production• Turf Grass Management• Vegetable Production
Examples of SAEsPower, Structural & Technical Systems
• Agricultural Mechanics Design and Fabrication
• Agricultural Mechanics Energy Systems• Agricultural Mechanics Repair and
Maintenance• Home and/or Community Development
Important Aspects of SAEs• Planning—Creates a record of activities• Supervision—Allows the student and the teacher to
assess the progress of the activities• Evaluation—Needed to assess the effectiveness of
the activities in helping students to reach their goals• Coordination between Student,
Parent/Guardian, and/or Employer, and Teacher—Needed to reinforce the responsibilities of all involved
