From the Classroom

Jason Ferreira, a National Teacher Ambassador for FFA, discussed how he was able to become who he is today thanks to his FFA supervised agricultural experience (SAE). He was able to use his SAE about market rabbits to educate his own students now. He now has 25 students exhibiting rabbits that would have never known about agriculture if it hadn’t been for his experiences and expertise.
