Peyton Moore – Agritourism SAE Lesson Plan

“Harvesting the Benefits” is a 45-minute FFA lesson plan that connects Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) programs in the Agribusiness Systems career focus area to FFA activities, coursework, and careers using the three-circle model of agricultural education. Students watch a video about an agritourism SAE, use AgExplorer to research careers, and complete Venn-diagram worksheets (“Growing Career Success” and “Growing YOUR Career Success”) to apply the concepts to their own SAE.

Agritourism SAE

Peyton Moore, a 10th grader from Bullard, Texas, shares her agritourism SAE featuring a pumpkin patch that educates visitors about agriculture. She hosts field trips for elementary students and enjoys seeing families return. Weather challenges affect attendance, but Peyton values the skills she gains from interacting with guests. With a family background in agriculture, she looks forward to continuing her work in college and encourages others to join FFA for its opportunities.
