What are Proficiency Awards?
Members who excel in their supervised agricultural experience programs can be recognized through the proficiency award program. Proficiency awards encourage members to develop specialized skills that will apply toward a future career. Proficiency awards are presented at the local, state and awards and recognitions 63 national levels. Members may be recognized for their excellence with plaques, cash and even an international agricultural trip. A student can select from three proficiency award categories. One is called placement for work or experience-only SAE programs. The second is called entrepreneurship for programs that typically involve ownership of an agricultural production or agribusiness enterprise. The third category is agriscience research and experimentation. This involves planning and conducting a scientific experiment based on hypothesis and the use of the scientific method of investigation on the hypothesis. This may include qualitative, experimental, descriptive and quasi-experimental research. A student applying for an award must have a minimum of 12 months of record keeping, be enrolled in an agricultural course for two semesters and be a paid FFA member.
Crane FFA had five students submit Proficiency Award applications to the MO Area XII FFA Association on Thursday, February 1, 2018 to compete with their Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) projects.
