Proficiency Awards<br />
The agricultural proficiency<br />
award program provides<br />
<strong>FFA</strong> members with another<br />
opportunity to learn, lead<br />
and succeed. Members are<br />
able to learn practical knowledge<br />
through real world experiences<br />
which prepares them<br />
for leadership roles in their<br />
futures.<br />
At national convention<br />
each year outstanding members<br />
are recognized for their<br />
hard work throughout the<br />
year. An SAE or a supervised<br />
agricultural experience<br />
serves as an “agricultural laboratory.”<br />
Students are able to<br />
apply the skills they learned<br />
in the classroom through<br />
hands-on application.<br />
Members can work in the<br />
agricultural industry and<br />
apply for a placement proficiency<br />
award, or they can<br />
start their own business and<br />
apply for an entrepreneurship<br />
proficiency award.<br />
