  1. SAE(Supervised Agriculture Experience)

  2. What is an SAE? • An SAE is a planned practical activity conducted outside of the classroom in which FFA members develop and apply their agricultural skills.

  3. Six Types of SAE • Entrepreneurship • Placement • Research • Experimental • Non-experimental • Exploratory • Improvement • Supplemental

  4. Entrepreneurship • The student plans, implements, operates and assumes financial risks in a farming activity or agricultural business. In Entrepreneurship programs, the student owns the materials and other required inputs and keeps financial records to determine return to investments. • Examples: • Growing an acre of corn • Operating a Christmas tree farm • Raising a litter of feeder pigs • Running a pay-to-fish operation • Growing bedding plants in the school greenhouse • Owning and operating a lawn care service • A group of students growing a crop of poinsettias

  5. Placement • Placement programs involve the placement of students on farms and ranches, in agricultural businesses, in school laboratories or in community. • This is done outside of normal classroom hours and may be paid or non-paid. • Examples: • Placement in a florist shop • Working after school at a veterinarian clinic. • Working on Saturdays at a riding stable • Working in the school greenhouse after school and on weekends and holidays • Placement on a general livestock farm • Volunteering at the local animal shelter

  6. Research • An extensive activity where the student plans and conducts an agricultural experiment using the scientific process. • There are two major types of Research Projects - Experimental and Non-Experimental. • Experimental Research Examples • Comparing the effect of various planting media on plant growth • Determining the impact of different levels of protein on fish growth • Comparing three rooting hormones on root development • Determining the strength of welds using different welding methods • Non-Experimental Examples: • A marketing plan for an agricultural commodity • A series of newspaper articles about the environment • A land use plan for a farm • A landscape design for a community facility • An advertising campaign for an agribusiness

  7. Exploratory • Exploratory SAE activities are designed primarily to help students become literate in agriculture and/or become aware of possible careers in agriculture. Exploratory SAE activities are appropriate for beginning agricultural students but is not restricted to beginning students. • Exploratory Examples: • Observing and/or assisting a florist • Growing plants in a milk jug "greenhouse" • Assisting on a horse farm for a day • Interviewing an agricultural loan officer in a bank • Preparing a scrapbook on the work of a veterinarian • Attending an agricultural career day

  8. Improvement • Improvement activities include a series of learning activities that improves the value or appearance of the place of employment, home, school or community. • Improvement Examples: • Landscaping the home • Building a fence • Cleaning and replanting the community park. • Overhauling a piece of equipment • Renovating and restocking a pond • Creating a website for an agricultural business

  9. Supplemental • A supplementary activity is one where the student performs specificagriculturalskills outside of normal class time. • The completion of the skills help to enhance the overall SAE • Supplementary Examples: • Pruning a fruit tree • Changing oil in a sod cutter • Balling & burlapping a tree • Helping a neighbor castrate pigs • Cutting firewood with a chain saw • Staking tomatoes

  10. Angelina County Youth Fair • SAE’s here will be shown through the ACYF. There are a wide range of projects you can participate in. • Projects are judged and placed into a ranking based on their characteristics. The best projects will make the sale.
