Agricultural Proficiency Awards

Recognize hands-on excellence — members are honored for outstanding work in their Supervised Agricultural Experience.

The Agricultural Proficiency Awards honor FFA members who have developed specialized skills and achieved outstanding success in their Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) — the real-world projects, jobs, and enterprises members pursue beyond the classroom.

How it works

  • Build a Supervised Agricultural Experience in a chosen area
  • Document skills, growth, and financial records over time
  • Apply in one of dozens of proficiency areas
  • Advance from chapter to state to national recognition

Why it matters

Proficiency Awards prove that learning by doing pays off. They recognize the work ethic, record-keeping, and expertise that turn a member’s SAE into a future career.
