Riverside FFA Chapter

Supervised Agriculture Experience

What is a SAE?

Members of the Riverside FFA Chapter develop their supervised agriculture experience programs in a variety of ways.  First year members, develop their career interests through the exploratory SAE.  Students have the opportunity to develop their science and analytical skills through a research SAE.  Several members work for someone else, whether it is an established firm or simply a family member, using a placement SAE.  Through entrepreneurship activities, members can own and operate some type of agriculture enterprise.  A key aspect to a Supervised Agriculture Experience program is that members are not limited to just one program area.

Ten members of the Riverside FFA Chapter and Decatur County 4-H participated in the annual Blue and Gold Livestock Show held at the University of Tennessee at Martin on July 12, 2008.  FFA members and 4-Hers from Decatur County exhibited over thirty animals at the show.  Two individuals exhibited Charolais cattle and eight individuals exhibited Hampshire, Chester White, Yorkshire, Duroc, and market hogs.
