  1. The Wamogo Agriculture Program

  2. 3 Parts of the Ag Ed Program • Class • Animal Science • Plant Science • Natural Resources • Ag Mechanics • FFA • SAE

  3. FFA • In 1928 FFA USED TO stand for Future Farmers of America but now it is called the National FFA Organization. Currently, the letters do not represent words. • This name change in 1988 is due to the fact that not everyone in agriculture is participating in production farming – we have small animal veterinarians, florists, landscapers, etc. The area of agriculture is more diverse than it was in the past.

  4. FFA is • The leadership organization for students enrolled in agricultural education – you CANNOT be an FFA member unless you are in an ag ed program (this is not like 4-H) • FFA is intercurricular – that means we teach and work within class too – not just after school

  5. What do we do in FFA? • Field trips • Fun – ice skating, corn maze • Educational – Mystic Aquarium, Botanical Garden • Travel • Leadership Conferences • Fairs • Fundraising • Competitions • Public Speaking • Related to area of interest in agriculture

  6. SAE • SAE = Supervised Agricultural Experience • This is a project/work experience that allows you to learn more about the area of agriculture that you are interested in

  7. Types of SAE projects • Placement • Paid – work for a veterinarian • Volunteer – volunteer at an animal shelter • Entrepreneurship – own your own business • Mow lawns • Sell dog treats • Research • Research animal training methods, nutrition
