What is a SAE?

SAE stands for "Supervised Agricultural Experience". Students get the chance to learn and experience a branch of agriculture in which they find interesting. They have the ability to explore, learn and develop a working knowledge of finances, responsibility and hardwork. Receiving a degree of any kind requires a certain amount of hours in their SAE projects.
