SAE Student Success Stories - Story #8 - Pennsylvania

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.

Story #8- Pennsylvania
A male freshman student takes on a SAE project in grain and beef production, also has an interest in the changing world of farming equipment.  Continues the SAE and conducts his own research on farming equipment.  Attends Governor's School for Ag Sciences at PSU during his junior year of high school.  The Fall of his senior year he applies to Cornell University and is accepted into their animal science program.  Applies for Outstanding Ag Science student in PA and is awarded that honor due to his SAE and research on large bales and their feeding to beef cattle.  Attends Cornell and earns a degree in Animal Science and Ag Education and now operates a beef & grain operation and has taught Ag Education in PA at Central Columbia for 15 years. 
Submitting Teacher: Mr. Doug Brown

SAE Theorem #6 (Moore, 2003, The Agricultural Education Magazine)
Records should be kept on SAE. The research literature indicates one of the greatest benefits of having a SAE program is learning how to keep records. No matter what one does in life, record keeping is an important skill. Therefore, accurate and complete records should be kept on the SAE.


You are a developing positive agent of change who will one day help students explore and grow into their unlimited potential through agricultural education!
