National FFA Organization
Special thanks go to the members of the Agriscience Task Force who provided suggestions for the content of this handbook. FFA is a national organization of 455,306 student members preparing for leadership and careers in the science, business and technology of agriculture. Local, state and national programs provide opportunities for students to apply knowledge and skills learned in the classroom. The organization has 7,226 local chapters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. The special project sponsors of the agriscience programs have made this handbook possible. The three uses of this handbook are: 1. To assist agriscience teachers and students in developing strong supervised agriculture experience (SAE) programs. 2. To supplement individual instruction provided by agriscience instructors/FFA advisors. 3. To provide helpful suggestions, advice and guidance on how to complete the National FFA Agriscience Fair, Agriscience Student Scholarship and Recognition Program and the Agriscience Teacher of the Year applications.
