My SAE project is owning my own lawn care business. I started it at the beginning of my freshman year. I have a mower I rent from my father and my trailer was given to me by my grandpa and I use my own truck. My SAE project is under Turf grass management Entrepreneurship. What I have learned is how to be organized and how to make invoices for my customer. I have also learned how to work on my equipment efficiently.
 

My SAE project is selling homegrown chicken eggs. This consists of taking care of our farms hens and keeping them healthy. Also, collecting, cleaning, and branding our eggs to sell to the community. Through this project, I have grown my people skills and expanded my connections throughout the community. I have also learned the importance of prioritizing to keep customers happy. Overall, this project of selling eggs has benefited me greatly in many areas of my life!

One of my SAE projects is my placment SAE at Hawkeye Breeders. I got this job because I really enjoy working. I have learned a lot while I have worked there. I have gotten better at mechanical things, but I have also learned a lot. I have learned about the EU and CSS regulations. But most importantly I have lear ed that I enjoy working with cattle. I never knew that before because on our farm we do not have livestock. This job has opened many career path for me, and I really love working there.

My SAE project is a ag service entrepreneurship where I am a Magnawave practitioner. I work on livestock to improve performance quality, and to better the animal's health. Through my project I have learned the importance of communication with clients, managing a business, and prioritizing my time. Overall this project has greatly helped me in many ways and I look forward to continuing it and expanding my project throughout the rest of my high school years.

I work for Stine Seed in the summer where I assist in the pollenation process in test plots. On a day to day basis we would gather information on modified crop products to define their differences. This was educational because I learned about another era of the agriculture industry.

My SAE project is a placement where I work for my dad and his trapping business. It consists of going out and settings traps, learning the baits and lures and setting different types of traps and sets to attract different animals. Once an animal is caught, we dispatch the animal and bring it home to skin it. We skin the hide from the animal and fold it up in the freezer and let it sit before we take it to get harvested!
