So
when
we
talk
about
agriculture
and
all
the
different
pathways
that
students
can
get
into
a
lot
of
times,
they
say
well,
where
could
ever
apply
this
in
the
real
world,
and
so
what
these
students
do
as
part
of
ffa
is
an
intercurricular,
so
not
extracurricular,
but
intracurricular.
So
we
embed
the
ffa
program
into
our
classroom
setting.
It
definitely
stands
for
future
farmers
of
america.
It
is
the
largest
student
organization
in
the
u.s,
with
over
half
a
million
active
members
and
attend
many
many
times
more
than
the
alumni
side.
E
The
students
at
which
you'll
hear
from
tonight
have
been
recognized
the
highest
levels
with
their
accomplishments
by
learning
learning
and
doing
what
agriculture,
food
and
natural
resources
are.
These
students
again
answer
the
question
of
how
will
I
apply
what
I
learned
on
the
real
world?
So
that's
a
lot
of
what
they
do
as
part
ffa
is
applying
what
they
learn
through
all
kinds
of
different
ways:
working
with
their
parents,
they're
working
with
businesses
working
with
people
that
mentor
and
show
them
again
why
it's
important
what
we
learn!
E
I
want
to
kind
of
go
over
a
few
things
here,
because
you'll
hear
about
these
knife
from
our
students
behind
us
here,
you're
going
to
hear
about
things
such
as
sae
stands
for
supervised
agricultural
experience,
it's
kind
of
like
a
capstone
project,
it's
kind
of
like
independent
study
that
students
do
and
they
it
is
self-initiated
and
the
students
learn
about
a
topic
of
their
interest
crops,
animals,
machines,
natural
resources,
food
really,
everything
that
which
they
can
be
a
part
of.
So
that's
when
sae
says
it's
kind
of
a
student-led
project.
E
You'll
hear
things
about
proficiencies
now,
proficiencies
add
on
to
the
sae
experience.
The
students
want
to
complete
an
sae.
They
have
to
show
proficiency
in
that
category
in
that
project
it
may
them
here
have
been
recognized
at
the
highest
state
level
for
their
projects
by
showing
a
proficiency
in
different
categories.
E
You'll
hear
things
such
as
cde
or
a
career
development
event,
as
well
as
lde
or
leadership
development
event.
Both
of
those
things
again
answer
the
question
of
how
will
I
use
this
in
the
real
world,
and
so
tonight
you
have
a
chance
to
hear
from
our
students
that
have
been
a
part
of
sae
as
part
of
proficiencies
and
also
part
of
some
state,
cde
and
lde
teams,
but
that
competed
and
performed
at
the
highest
level
in
the
state
of
minnesota.
E
Here,
I'm
very
proud
of
the
students,
very
private
coaches
that
work
with
them:
their
parents,
the
volunteers,
everybody
that
helps
make
it
work.
So
it's
an
honor
again
to
work
with
these
students
every
single
day
and
to
get
know
that
we
have
the
brightest
minds
right
here
in
the
awesome
community
for
agriculture
resources.
D
Like
nick
said,
it's
a
community
thing
we
pull
in
the
kids
from
the
school.
We
get
that
interest
going
and,
like
he
said
you
don't
have
to
be
a
farm
kid
to
be
involved
in
this
there's
just
28
different
areas
that
you
can
look
into
and
do
so.
I
just
want
you
to
know
that
some
of
the
stuff
that
we
do
in
the
community
ranges
from
breakfast
on
the
farm
to
community.

Katie
competed
in
marcy
bellow
evaluation,
all
on
her
own.
She
studied
on
her
own
and
amongst
everything,
because
there's
not
many
horse
people
here
she
did
very
well
fell
right
kind
of
in
the
top
end
of
it
like
in
the
19th
area,
out
of
100
and
some
kids.
So
we're
really
proud
of
katie.
For
that,
then
we
have
our
two
teams.
Thank
you
katie,
but
we'll
go
into
the
others.
So
don't
get
excited.

Maybe

I

there's
a

of
discussion
around
I'm
sorry.
What's
that
maybe
we
can
offline
I'd
just
be
curious,
because
I
know
there
was
a
lot
of
perception
around
okay.
We
needed
this
contract,
so
I'm
struggling
to
kind
of
understand
why
we
need
the
person
and
the
external
contractor.
