Lead Summary

Each summer, in addition to classroom learning and FFA activities, Hillsboro FFA students engage in a supervised agricultural activity (SAE). This helps students better understand the agricultural field by giving them a hands-on experience.

Members are able to complete an assortment of SAE projects, including ownership/entrepreneurship of any agricultural business, job placement in an agricultural-based business, research through experimentation and exploration of a career in agriculture. During the summer, members are visited by a FFA advisor to monitor their SAE.
This experience not only gives members agricultural exposure but also teaches responsibility and helps to keep students on track for specific fields. Each year a student participates, they grow by contributing to their chapter and own knowledge but also by helping the student push for broader horizons, such as a State FFA degree.
