MADISON - The Wisconsin FFA Foundation recently awarded $18,000 in grants to Wisconsin FFA members working toward successful Supervised Agricultural Experiences. There were a total of 29 recipients from 16 different chapters.
As part of the overall FFA program, SAEs allow students the opportunity to create their own business or work with an existing operation to build career skills.
The Wisconsin FFA Foundation awards SAE grants to assist students in propelling their SAE programs. The 2013-14 grants were awarded in four different SAE categories: aquaculture, dairy, organic agriculture and start-up. Successful candidates were chosen based on the level and scope of their SAE in accordance with their age, future goals and plans for the program and financial need.
Aquaculture SAE grants were sponsored by the Wisconsin Aquaculture Association. A $500 grant was awarded to Adam Richards of Brodhead FFA.
Organic Agriculture SAE grants were sponsored by Organic Valley/CROPP Cooperative, Inc. Brianna Hadley, Brodhead FFA, received a $700 grant.
