SAE is one of the most unique educational tools at our
disposal as agriscience educators. SAEs have long standing impact on the lives
of students. SAEs are not optional.

SAE Theorem #4
(Moore, 2003, The Agricultural Education Magazine)
Students should develop a preliminary plan and budget for
their SAE program. Students may have grandiose ides and plans regarding their
SAE programs, but they may not be realistic. Time should be spent where the
students outline what they plan to do, identify the resources required,
estimate the time involved, determine when critical tasks need to be performed,
and look at the financial aspects of the proposed activity.
