Capataz del Huerto en el Rancho (Spanish)


Lesson Plans & Curriculum
30 minutes

This is a quick lesson plan built around the FFA SAE video “Jared Mudd – SAE – Ranch Foreman – Orchard,” in which students follow Jared’s supervised agricultural experience as an orchard foreman. Through a worksheet (“Árboles por todas partes”), students learn how an orchard is managed, the impact of an SAE, and how to correctly plant a container tree. It works well as an Arbor Day, SAE, or forestry production lesson.
