- Developing new digital solutions to help growers monitor their crop production through satellite imaging data, drones, artificial intelligence, etc.
- Providing innovative crop protection products, such as pesticides
FFA Connections
An opportunity to learn and apply knowledge of food product development, food presentation and food safety issues through sensory skills to solve problems and make sound decisions.
An opportunity to learn about and demonstrate knowledge about the quality production, processing, distribution, promotion and marketing of milk and dairy foods.
The research proficiency award area recognizes SAE experiences that involve planning and conducting an agriculturally related scientific experiment based on hypothesis and the use of scientific methods of investigation on the hypothesis.
Current Events
Forward thinking is needed to meet the needs of the agriculture industry. Drones are a large part of the research being conducted at this time. Read how the deployment of the largest agricultural drone fleet in the world is moving the agriculture industry forward!
